Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP is a component of whole blood that contains a concentrated amount of growth factors. This video describes the basic science of PRP.
There are doctors here in FL who are doing this with stem cells drawn from your own bone marrow or body fat (specifically the abdomen). I am hoping to get this done as i have re-injured my low back. I'm excited about this and the future of stem cell therapy!
I have had an arthrotomy surgery on my right foot IP joint of hallux, thsi was after a severe fracture. Currently I have an ostealchondral defect in the joint (confirmed by 3T MRI), it is very painful. Several surgeons recomended I fuse the joint, does anyone think PRP would work instead?
I remember seeing a documentary on the human brain and what I will never forget was when they asked the 4 panel experts "how much do we know about the human mind". From a low 0 - 10 high scale the experts responses varied between 1 - 2!
The other statement made by a panel expert was during sleep our brain is still functioning at 85%.
My last comment I remember was when the human body slips into a Coma the brain is still 50% active.

because surgery is more expensive and also this is natural, patient's own blood
