Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma
This procedure will include a single collection of 35 mL of peripheral blood. A two-stage spinning protocol will be used: the 1st separates red blood cells from platelets, and the 2nd concentrates the platelets to yield approximately 4 mL of concentrated autologous platelet. This layer of platelet rich plasma will be placed in the syringe by the centrifuge machine.
Ultrasound Imaging
A conventional ultrasound in addition to AE and shear wave imaging (SWI) will be administered.
