The role of PRF in the treatment of trophic ulcers of lower limbs

Abstract

Introduction. Tissue regeneration remains a current multidisciplinary issue. Up to 48% of patients with trophic ulcers are at age of maximum productivity. 67% of patients with trophic ulcers become disabled, and at 81% the quality of life considerably decreases. PRF (Platelet- Rich Fibrin) membranes are a new perspective in tissue regeneration.
