The wound healing effect of local leukocyte platelet-rich plasma after total hip arthroplasty: A randomized controlled trial.

Rapid wound closure is important after arthroplasty procedures to prevent postoperative complications. Platelets are rich in growth factors and leukocytes contribute to innate immunity. We hypothesized that topical leukocyte platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) derived from the blood of patients would be beneficial to wound healing.
