ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper is to present the application of our own algorithms for prevention and treatment of problematic skin wounds (PSW) by using the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) based on the first study on PRP application carried out in Bulgaria.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology, UMBAL Kanev Ruse, for a period of 84 months - from February 2009 to September 2016. A total of 83 patients with PSW have been treated with platelet-rich plasma. Scores introduced by Cancela AM are used for the assessment of the respective wound. Each of these scores is used for assessing specific wound parameters.
RESULTS: Our own algorithms for prevention and treatment of PSW by PRP increase the percentage of successfully cured wounds. Prevention algorithm of applying PRP ensures that a high percentage of acute skin wounds will not turn into PSW. The proposed algorithms for prevention and treatment of PSW by applying PRP are an effective and safe way to reduce the uncured complicated skin wounds and ensure the subsequent normal life of patients. They also ensure more predictable skin healing.
CONCLUSION: Our own algorithms for prevention and treatment of PSW by PRP increase the percentage of successfully cured wounds. The proposed algorithms for prevention and treatment of PSW by applying PRP are an effective and safe way to reduce the uncured complicated skin wounds and ensure the subsequent normal life of patients.
