Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a biological treatment derived from your own blood. The platelet-rich fraction contains concentrated growth factors that stimulate tendon and cartilage repair. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Murat Aydın uses a closed, sterile centrifuge system to achieve a consistent 5–7x platelet concentration, injected under ultrasound guidance for precision.
