GROWTH FACTORS IN ORTHOPEDICS

Dr. Alberto Gobbi performs PRP injections at Sports Knee Clinic Zurich for over 10 years, with favorable results in chronic non-healing tendon injuries (including the elbow, patella and Achilles tendon among others), pump arm syndrome (which is very often in professional motocross riders) and other compartment syndromes, ligament and muscle injuries. He also performs PRP injections for the treatment of osteoarthritis and in general in cartilage damage (and other conditions such as chondropathy, chondromalacia patellae, focal chondral lesions etc).

Recently our study on the treatment of patients presenting with symptomatic osteoarthritis received the “2012 Sports Health T. David Sisk Award for Best International Paper”.
