Abstract

Muscle injuries lead to a functional impairment and to a subsequent considerable absence from training and competition, with potentially significant consequences on the athlete’s season and career. Therefore, the management of muscle tears and the choice of treatment strategy represent a challenging topic. To achieve a quick yet full recovery, there is a continuous search for innovative treatments to improve and accelerate the muscle healing process. As a result of these efforts, several orthobiologic approaches have been introduced for the management of muscle injuries. To gain more insight on the clinical evidence about the available innovative injective treatments is mandatory to improve the outcomes of patients affected by muscle tears. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the main features of muscle injuries and to analyse the scientific evidence about the clinical results of different emerging orthobiologic approaches, with a particular focus on platelet-rich plasma (PRP), in the management of this kind of injuries.
