Utilization of Platelet-Rich Plasma for a Fistula With Subcutaneous Cavity Following Septic Bursitis: A Case Report.

In platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, various growth factors and cytokines released the α-granules contained in platelets after activation can potentially enhance wound healing by delivering. We report a patient in whom treatment with PRP, prepared using a syringe-centrifugation-system PRP kit (KYOCERA Medical PRP Kit), for a fistula following bursitis of the lateral malleolus, which could not be healed with conventional wound therapy, led to successful healing. A 58-year-old man was on dialysis for type II diabetes and chronic renal failure.
