Abstract
Patients with chronic conditions who are bedridden or immobile for extended periods of time frequently have pressure sores. Deep tissue infections caused by them may spread to include deeper structures like bones and cause severe morbidity. APRP has aided as an adjuvant therapy to optimise results in a variety of plastic surgical applications. In our case report, we go through how Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (APRP) can be used in conjunction with other treatments to treat pressure sores.
