Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for Hip Arthritis

I review PRP injections for hip osteoarthritis. Treat hip osteoarthritis with platelet rich plasma injections to get the best long term results. Benefits include improvements to pain, stiffness, and function as well as potentially slowing down the progression of arthritis.

Great info. I’m getting my hip PRP tomorrow .

[dowdsy]

I’m getting one tomorrow. 💉

The first hip specialist I seen told me I need hip replacement surgery right away. A second specialist told me to get prp.

I’m 34 years old.

Always get a second opinion!

Thank you for great information on PRP. it would be helpful if you were to add graphics that show the inside of a joint, the layers of cartilage, the subchondral tissue, the synovial fluid, what a healthy joint versus an unhealthy joint looks like, etc. Visuals help us understand even more clearly

[GBS-nttt]

This is good doctor. Recomends everything to try before hip replacement. The truth is there will never be better situation then to use your existing bone you have. Putting atrificail metals and ceramincs always has risks, death from surgery, allergic reactions ect. yes sometimes you have to have to take risk. But why not try the heathier options first. I like this Doctor!

I called around Tucson, Arizona today and found a wonderful doctor who provides PRP shots for hips and knees. Sleep is in my future!! Thank you for this video.

[JavedIqbal-xwtz]

Dr you are 1000%, PRP is best treatment but the problem is that it doesn't give huge profit to multinational pharmaceutical joints and no commissions to doctors .

[joannequon]

This is wonderful information. I had PRP for a neuroma in my foot and it worked! I had to have two but it worked! Just had a cortisone injection for hip arthritis. I know it will only work for a while, but I will be calling your office for a PRP hip injection once I need another injection.

[miked]

I have had a prp HA blend injected in my hip a few times a year that seems to work a bit better!

[billybrooks]

You describe this so well. I am about to get my first PRP and about 6 week's time. So i'm just looking at some information to give me some knowledge about what's room going on. Thank you for your expertise and knowledge on this matter

[jerrycook]

[pamelamoore]

Thanks for the information I will be having a PRP also for my hip bc I have arthritis in my hip

[HLC]

Had the same hip capsule swelling with painful hip
Did few rounds of hip prp jab and it took weeks of exercises to return to workable less painful hip.
But it's not cheap treatment. Thanks Dr Jeff.

I have had PRP in my ulnar nerve 5 yr ago with excellent results. I now have Osteoarthritis in my hip and would love to get prp as well. I hope I can find a Dr in Detroit MI that will do it as I've been suffering for 1 year with constant pain.

[KarenMorgan-zmqg]

Thank you for this wonderful concise information. Just had hip PRP 10 days ago and not any relief yet and worried I may need another one but the suggestions? MRI showed moderate arthritis with labral tear.

March, 2023.
My wife 40 y.o. 88 kg, was diagnosed as 2nd stage, 2sided coxarthrosis hip disease.
In Tashkent, Uzbekistan the number of cases is much more before Covid-19 period.
And the hip problem are getting Younger. More people below 40 and even 30 are being diagnosed.

Does this happen globally?
We both were Covid in autumn 2020, but did not get vaccinated.
