Abstract

Tendinopathy of the gluteal tendons is the most prevalent of all lower limb tendinopathies causing high levels of dysfunction. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is made from autologous whole blood by centrifugation to create a concentrate containing growth factors.
This thesis investigated the biological profile of PRP and it's clinical efficacy for the treatment of gluteal tendinopathy. The outcome showed the cellular and biochemical make-up of the PRP affect the outcome in the management of gluteal tendinopathy; and PRP is effective in the treatment of symptomatic chronic gluteal tendinopathy.
