PRP (Platelet‐Rich Plasma) Therapy Consent Form


Informed Consent for PRP (Platelet‐Rich Plasma) Therapy

Aloha thank you for entrusting your health with our clinic. At this time, you have a pain problem that has not been relieved by routine treatments. Benefits include increased likelihood of correct diagnosis and /or of decrease or elimination of pain. Platelet‐rich plasma is a fraction of your blood which contains a high concentration of platelets. These are known to contain large quantities of growth factors which attract stem cells and stimulate the healing of damaged tissues. Clinical work over the last several years has established the safety and usefulness of platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) for tissue repair and healing in joints resulting in reduced pain and improved function for many who have had this procedure. Platelet Rich Plasma is an established treatment technique used to tighten and strengthen weak and damaged ligaments and tendons which are believed to cause pain and instability. It is also used to decrease pain and improved function. The technique requires the injection of Platelet Rich Plasma derived from your own blood. The sight of the injection is where the ligament or tendon attaches to the bone, at the joint capsule or inside the joint. An extensive discussion was conducted of the natural history of the disease and the variety of surgical and non-surgical treatment options available to the patient. A risk/benefit analysis was discussed with the patients reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of intervention at this time. A full explanation was given of the nature and the purpose of the procedures and anesthesia, its benefits, possible alternative methods of treatment, the risks involved, the possibility of complications, the foreseeable consequences of the procedures and the possible results of non-treatment.

 

Patient will be injected with PRP to the following area(s):
