Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Orthopedic traumas involving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries represent a considerable portion of emergency room visits, which demonstrates the need for further studies focused on the treatment of this type of injury, aiming at a faster and more effective outcome. One such therapy is the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), an innovative technique with promising results in the process of tissue regeneration and healing. In orthopedics, it has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, such as tendonitis, ligament injuries and osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the benefits of platelet rich plasma in patients with ACL injuries. METHODOLOGY: This Integrative Literature Review began in August 2024 and used Medical Publisher (PUBMED), Virtual Health Library (VHL), Science Direct, World Wide Science and CAPES Periodical Portal as the database for the electronic search, through the Health Sciences Descriptors: “Platelet-Rich Plasma”, “Anterior Cruciate Ligament” and “Injuries”, with the Boolean operator AND. The final sample consisted of 15 articles. RESULTS: The direct application of PRP at the site of the ACL injury promotes the regeneration of the injured tissue, reducing pain and improving joint function, as well as recovery during and after treatment. Furthermore, PRP is a safe and minimally invasive alternative, since it is autologous and does not present immunological risks. CONCLUSION: The benefits of PRP in the treatment of ACL injuries are the stimulation of cell proliferation, reinnervation and tissue regeneration, accelerating the recovery process of the injured patient. There is a relationship between the use of PRP in ACL injuries and PRP also helps with functionality after the procedure, in the short and long term.
