PRP was a pretty extreme example, but I used it to prove a point that no matter how crazy it seems to do PRP in an underground or gray-market venue, 1. A lot of people are already doing it, and 2. absent blood contamination risk, the risk, benefit, and cost trade-off is still massively better than the surgery it may prevent. It’s not even close. Even if it’s not proven to be effective by statistical scrutiny, neither are the vast majority of orthopedic surgeries. Seriously, look it up, and be mindful that it is the surgeon himself that determines success in most studies.
