Autologous Concentrated Platelet-rich Plasma (Arthrex ACP®) for Local Application in Ankle Arthrodesis: A Prospective Outcome Analysis.
To compare the outcomes of patients who undergo three different types of surgeries for ankle
fusion and reconstruction.
It is understood that an elevated concentration of platelets in the mix of the arthrodesis
construct applied intra-operatively to the bony surface, has osteo-generating and enhanced
wound healing properties. With that knowledge there is a clinical need and enthusiasm for
the application of concentrated platelets, which release a large quantity of growth factors
to encourage recovery in non healing injuries or surgical sites. This study represents an
effort to more clearly define the true clinical outcomes with or without biologic
enhancement, and fulfills a need for fortifying evidence concerning the efficacy of ACP in
live human bone healing-- based on radiographic and CT scans.
