Platelet-rich plasma does not influence magnetic resonance imaging findings of the gluteus muscles after total hip arthroplasty through the Hardinge approach
MRI can be a valuable tool for evaluating postoperative healing after total hip arthroplasty. Fatty atrophy of the gluteal muscles was a common finding. Platelet-rich plasma injection into the gluteus medius tendon did not improve healing detected by MRI.
