Vigastuse ravi

Põhjuse peaks püüdma välja selgitada. Või on arstid selle välja selgitanud? Enne ei saa tegelikult midagi soovitada. Valu äravõtmine, valu ignoreerimine ilma põhjuse endaga tegelemata ei ole lahendus. Püüa leida arst, kes aitaks.

Kahjuks Eestis ei tehta, küsisin mõned aastad tagasi ühe tuntud spordiarsti käest, aga samas ta oli huvitatud , et kust selline info.

There is very little risk here; we are using the patient’s own blood taken right in the doctor’s office, and the whole procedure takes less than an hour,” Mishra says. “The results of our pilot study indicate this therapy is as effective as surgery, with sustained and significant improvement over time, no side effects, and high patient acceptance.”

“Ours is the first in vivo human investigation of this novel biologic treatment for chronic severe elbow tendonitis in patients who have simply ‘flunked out’ of other treatments,” says Dr. Mishra. “Ninety-three percent of patients in our study did well, which is as good a result as patients who have tendon surgery.”

Fifteen patients received a one-time injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into their affected elbow. (Platelets are blood components responsible for the formation of clots in response to injury, but also contain powerful growth factors; plasma is the liquid portion of the blood.) Blood was drawn from a patient’s unaffected arm and spun down in the physician’s office lab to separate the blood’s components. Approximately a half-teaspoon (2 to 3 mL) of this material – over 500% richer in platelets than whole blood – was then injected into the tendon of the sore elbow. These 15 patients had tennis elbow for 15 months and the average patient age was 48 years. Their baseline score on the pain scale was 80.3.
