The effects of platelet rich plasma as a treatment modality for the “unhappy triad”—a multisystemic review
Abstract
The “Unhappy Triad” traditionally identifies an injury that affects the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the medial meniscus (MM). It occurs in an estimated twenty-five percent (25%) of acute knee injuries [1]. Due to a recent increased prevalence of lateral meniscus (LM) tears the “Unhappy Triad” may be more accurately described as an injury that consists of tears of the ACL, MCL, and the LM [2,3]. Acute simultaneous rupture in the “unhappy triad” of the knee is a rare but severe injury.
