No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is testing whether autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) dressings are more effective than normal saline dressings in treating heel pad injuries caused by motorcycle wheel spokes among children in Pakistan. PRP is prepared from a child's own blood and contains natural growth factors that may help wounds to heal faster. The study compares healing rates, reduction in wound size, and time to complete wound healing between the platelet-rich plasma and saline dressing groups.

Conditions

  • Wheel Spoke Injury
  • Heel Pad Injuries
  • Wound Healing

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Dressing

Approximately 10 mL of venous blood is processed in the pathology department to prepare PRP, which is applied as a wound dressing. Dressings are applied over \~4 weeks, with outpatient follow-up until 12 weeks.

OTHER

Normal Saline Dressings

Conventional sterile normal saline dressings are applied over \~4 weeks, with outpatient follow-up until 12 weeks.
