A recent study conducted at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Manipur, India compared the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and pulsed ultrasound therapy in improving pain and function in athletes with medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries of the knee. The study found that both treatments resulted in significant improvement in pain and function, but the PRP group showed greater improvement at the 2nd and 6th week follow-ups. Based on these findings, the researchers suggest that ultrasound-guided PRP injection may be a preferred method of treatment for MCL injuries in athletes looking to return to sports as early as possible.
