A study on the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote bone fusion in lateral interbody fusion of the lumbar spine using artificial bone
PRP did not significantly improve intervertebral bone fusion rates in LLIF surgeries, particularly in cases with poor contact between the vertebral endplate and artificial bone. While PRP may have a limited role in enhancing bone fusion, maintaining good contact between the vertebral endplate and artificial bone is crucial for successful outcomes. Further research is needed to explore optimal uses of PRP in spinal fusion surgeries.
