Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been utilized to augment ACL surgery, with studies reaching conflicting conclusions as to the extent of beneficial effects. While the majority of ACL surgeries I have performed have not been augmented, I have utilized PRP (and bone marrow concentrate) enough to conclude that my personal experience matches literature finding no significant difference in outcomes, and, at present does not support routine augmentation of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with PRP.

Pediatric stroke is garnering increased attention due to its rising incidence and significant impact on affected children, families, and the health care system. Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major subtype of pediatric stroke and often results from arterial occlusion. Diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in children pose unique challenges, primarily because of nonspecific symptoms, lack of pediatric-focused imaging protocols, distinct causes (compared with in adults), and the large number of stroke mimics.
