PRF for orthopedic problems

PRF treatment for orthopaedic conditions – Natural healing through the body’s own resources.

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF ) is an innovative and natural treatment used to promote healing and relieve pain in various orthopaedic conditions. PRF is an evolution of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and offers improved results due to a slower release of growth factors and bioactive substances from the body’s own blood components.

What is the PRF and how does it work?
PRF is a concentration of the blood’s own platelets and fibrin, produced by a simple and gentle process:

  1. Blood test: A small sample is taken from your arm.
  2. Separation: The blood is centrifuged to separate platelets and fibrin from the other components.
  3. Application: The finished PRF product is injected into the affected area to stimulate healing.

Unlike PRP, PRF contains a fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors over a longer period, making the treatment even more effective in supporting the body’s natural repair processes.

Advantages of the PRF:

  • solely from the patient’s own blood without any additives or chemicals.
  • Improved healing: Growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration and inflammation is reduced.
  • Long-term effect: The fibrin matrix allows a continuous release of healing substances.
  • Minimal risks: Because PRF comes from your own blood, the risk of side effects or reactions is very low.

Applications of PRF in orthopaedics
PRF is successfully used to treat several common orthopaedic problems, including:

  • Osteoarthritis and joint pain: Improves joint function and reduces pain.
  • Tendon and muscle injuries: Helps repair overloaded or damaged tissues.
  • Sports injuries: speeds up recovery from injuries such as tennis elbow or health problems.
  • Postoperative healing: Supports recovery after orthopedic procedures.

How does the treatment work?
A PRF treatment usually takes 30-60 minutes. After PRF is prepared, it is injected with precision into the affected area. The treatment does not require anesthesia or extensive recovery, and many patients can return to everyday activities the same day.

Is PRF treatment right for you?
FRP is suitable for those who are looking for a natural, effective and safe way to treat orthopaedic conditions. It is particularly suitable for those who want to avoid surgery or who have not obtained the desired results from traditional treatments.

Mechanism of treatment

PREPARATION

Before the treatment, the practitioner will take 10 to 20 ml of your blood via a cannula. The pain you may feel is minimal, the same as in a classic blood test. Next, the practitioner will separate the plasma from other components of your blood using a high-speed centrifuge.

TREATMENT

The treatment is carried out quickly and easily. The plasma is applied under the skin using injections or microneedling; the method of application is determined by the practitioner. Results are visible a few days after treatment, while the full effect is expected in the coming months due to the process of creating new collagen and elastin. During this period, the skin is revitalized, becomes softer, more elastic and visibly regenerated.

RECOVERY

After the procedure, it is possible to see redness, swelling and feel minimal pain in the treated area, which usually disappears within a few hours to 1 day, depending on the method of application. Most clients return to their normal activity immediately after treatment.

Within a few weeks of the treatment, a general improvement in the skin’s moisture, texture and tone can be seen. After three to six weeks, the development of new collagen and new blood vessels begins, and over the next three to six months, lines visibly disappear. The full effect of the treatment can take up to two years, depending on the person, but the results are long-lasting and worth waiting for.

Things to consider after treatment

PRF is a simple and safe treatment. Since PRF is extracted from your blood, there is no possibility of transmitting disease, triggering allergies or immunological reactions.

PRP therapy is not applied in platelet dysfunction, critical thrombocytopenia, hemodynamic instability, autoimmune diseases, acute and chronic diseases, pregnancy, chronic liver disease and anticoagulant therapy.
