A retrospective observational study evaluated whether ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections could enhance nerve regeneration and functional recovery in patients with median or ulnar nerve injuries of the forearm. Findings suggest that PRP may improve structural nerve healing, nerve conduction, muscle strength, sensory recovery, and patient-reported functional outcomes when combined with conventional rehabilitation. Key Findings Enhanced Nerve Regeneration: PRP was associated with significantly larger nerve cross-sectional diameter and area compared with rehabilitation alone.
Better Functional Outcomes: Patients receiving PRP demonstrated significantly lower DASH scores at 2 months, indicating improved upper-limb function. Improved Nerve Conduction: The PRP group showed higher sensory and motor nerve conduction velocities. Superior Motor & Sensory Recovery: PRP-treated…
