Platelet‐rich plasma intra‐articular knee injections for the treatment of degenerative cartilage lesions and osteoarthritis

Abstract

These findings indicate that treatment with PRP injections can reduce pain and improve knee function and quality of life with short-term efficacy. Further studies are needed to confirm these results and understand the mechanism of action, and to find other application modalities, with different platelet and GF concentrations and injection timing, which provide better and more durable results.
