Summary
This trial is testing whether an injection of platelet-rich plasma can help reduce inflammation and improve function in patients with an acute ACL injury.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 14-50 who have recently suffered an acute ACL injury, with or without a meniscus injury treatable by surgery. It's not suitable for those with severe cartilage damage, prior knee surgeries, injections within the last 6 months, inflammatory arthritis, joint infections, or non-English speakers.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the injured knee can reduce inflammation and improve joint function after an ACL injury. Participants will be randomly given either PRP or a placebo saline injection to compare outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of PRP injections may include pain at the injection site, infection risk increase due to needle use, tissue damage around the injected area and allergic reactions although generally considered low-risk.
