Global research trends of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in orthopedic sports injuries: A bibliometric analysis from 2000 to 2024
This study outlines the knowledge-map of PRP research in sports injury management, which may guide clinicians in selecting evidence-based PRP protocols for specific injury types (e.g., tendon vs cartilage). Future studies on PRP clinical trials should focus on large-scale, long-term randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of current treatment strategies.
