| Has PRP been used for the ulnar collateral ligament? | |
 Dr. Andrew Blecher |
Are you referring to the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow or thumb? It has been used for both, but more extensively for the elbow. |
 Dr. Jon Rubenstein |
Yes, PRP has become a very common treatment for problems with the Ulnar Collateral Ligament. Both “Golfer’s Elbow” and “Tennis Elbow” conditions have been treated with the injections. In fact, 80% of the official controlled studies on the efficacy of PRP injections have been done on Ulnar Collateral Ligament injuries. |
