Osteochondritis
dissecans of the
knee(OCD)
 In 1870,Paget published the first
classical description of the disease
 Koenig in 1888,initially named the
disorder « osteochondritis
dissescans of the knee »
 Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a
pathological condition that results in
destruction of subchondral bone
with secondary damage to overlying
articular cartilage.

Platelet-Rich
Plasma (PRP):
What Is PRP and
What Is Not
PRP?
Robert Marx
1998
IMPLANT DENTISTRY Vol. 10 No. 4 2001 y Lippincott Williams &
Wilkins Printed in U.S.A.
PRP,GPS,GPRF…
What it is???
 Platelet-rich plasma is a
serum obtained by
centrifugation of
autologous blood. It is
defined by the American
Red Cross as a blood
derivative with a platelet
concentration above the
physiological norm.
PRP,GPS,GPRF…
What it is???
Injections of PRP increase the
concentrations of platelet GF in
loco, leading to proliferation of
fibroblasts, secondarily promoting
tissue scarring.
Platelets, by locally releasing
their growth factors (PDGF, IGF-1,
TGF-β, VEGF, bFGF ...), have a
positive effect on the healing of
various organic tissues.
There is
many
different
type of
PRP…
Plasma Rich in
Platelet(PRP)
How does it work?
 "Regenerative therapy" (tissue
replacement, GF, cytokines,
biomaterials, stem cells ...)
 GF contained in the blood can
act favorably on healing
processes.
 A high concentration of GF in
the blood can stimulate the
healing and regeneration
process of damaged joint
cartilages.

Conclusion
"Despite the media
attention and perceived
benefits of these therapies,
there are still limited data as
to efficacy and long-term
safety. The involvement of
clinicians, scientists and
ethicists is essential in our
quest for the truth.“
• Thomas M. Best et all. in Not
Missing theFuture. Current Sports
Medicine Reports, 2017
Conclusion:
PRP can be used in young
athletes?
 Why not ... but
 Natural History
 No randomized studies
 No real CI
 Advantage???
 Remodeling and faster healing
in young patients
 Lack of largest series
