Abstrakt: This article, published in the Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology, explores the potential of ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection as a treatment for athletes with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. The study compared the efficacy of PRP injection with standard conservative treatment in improving pain and function among athletes with ACL tears. The results showed that the PRP injection group experienced significantly greater pain relief and improved function compared to the conservative treatment group. The study suggests that ultrasound-guided PRP injection may offer a promising alternative for faster recovery and return to sports for athletes with partial ACL tears. [Extracted from the article]
