BACKGROUND: Platelets immediately appear at the site of tissue injury in large numbers. By releasing secretory proteins from their [alpha]-granules on activation, platelets set the pace of wound healing; with their effects remaining long after the clot has been cleared. OBJECTIVE(S): The enhancement of healing by the placement of a supraphysiologic concentration of autologous platelets at the site of tissue ... Read more
