Objectives: Describe the principles and clinical applications of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the management of common musculoskeletal conditions, including knee osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathies such as lateral epicondylitis. Evaluate appropriate patient selection for PRP by reviewing current evidence, expected outcomes, limitations, and how PRP compares with other nonsurgical treatment options, including hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid injections. Explain the role of interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among athletic trainers, physical therapists, and orthopedic physicians in patient education, treatment decision-making, rehabilitation, and return-to-activity planning following PRP treatment.
