abstract

the clinical use of prp therapy in the practical setting of orthopaedic fields is increasing partly because of the accessibility of devices that are used in outpatient preparation and delivery. another reason is the strong advertisement of prp procedures as the ultimate treatment and novel technology for knee problems by a few orthopaedic surgeons based on claims of abundant scientific evidence. hence, pubmed articles related to the clinical use of prp in knee osteoarthritis were searched using the key words: prp, knee and osteoarthritis in order to study these claims. a total of 20 reports were found directly related to the topic. the aforementioned clinical studies suggest that intraarticular injections of prp could have preventive effects against osteoarthritis progression. however, presently there is no clear evidence from well-designed clinical trials that intraarticular injections of prp are efficacious in osteoarthritis. therefore, at this time the efficacy of prp requires more investigation, wherein better scientific studies should be performed that include high powered randomized controlled trials.

Intraarticular injections (corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma) for the knee osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex "whole joint" disease pursued by inflammatory mediators, rather than purely a process of "wear and tear". Besides cartilage degradation, synovitis, subchondral bone remodeling, degeneration of ligaments and menisci, and hypertrophy of the joint capsule take parts in the pathogenesis. Pain is the hallmark symptom of OA, but the extent to which structural patholog...

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blinded Clinical Trial

BACKGROUND Intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been successfully used in young patients and in the early stages of disease. No previous studies have analyzed outcomes of PRP injections during the late stages. HYPOTHESIS PRP reduces pain and leads to a more effective and lasting functional recovery than corticosteroid with...

Intraarticular administration of platelet-rich plasma with biodegradable gelatin hydrogel microspheres prevents osteoarthritis progression in the rabbit knee.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic potential of administration of gelatin hydrogel microspheres containing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), by examining its effects on progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in a rabbit model. METHODS PRP and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) were prepared from rabbit blood. Adult rabbit chondrocytes were cultured in the alginate beads with the presence of 3% PRP or 3% ...
