Introduction: PRP and Hyaluronic Acid in Joint Care Musculoskeletal medicine continues to evolve. As a result, physicians are exploring both biologic and injectable approaches for joint care. Two areas of growing interest include: • platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation• hyaluronic acid injections In many cases, clinicians study these approaches separately. However, some physicians now evaluate how…

Introduction: PRP in Knee Osteoarthritis Research Interest in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation continues to grow in musculoskeletal medicine. In particular, researchers are studying PRP preparation systems in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Recently, investigators at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome, Italy, published research evaluating a neutrophil-depleted PRP preparation. This study adds to the…

Introduction: Cash-Pay Services in Modern Medical Practice Medical practices are evolving. At the same time, many providers are exploring ways to grow outside of traditional insurance models.
