No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A prospective study was performed on 90 patients were included and categorized into mild (30 cases, moderate (30 cases) and severe (30 cases) knee OA. Three intra-articular (I.A) injections of PRP, 2 weeks a part, were received. Pain score and MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) were assessed. Serial synovial fluid cytokines assays in the form of Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), were performed using commercially available ELISA assay kits. The assays were performed pre-injection (S1), two weeks from the 1st I.A injection and two weeks from the 2nd I.A injection (S3) for all included patients.

Interventions

DRUG

Intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma

The patient was put in 20 degree flexion in supine position with the knee. Under aseptic conditions, a 21-gage needle was used to inject 5 mL of PRP into the suprapatellar knee joint pouch, using a superolateral method. Local anesthetics were not used. Patients were instructed after the injection to refrain from physical exercise for at least 24 hours but no restriction was specified regarding activities of daily living. Three IA-PRP injections were administered at 2-week intervals. The same physician who was engaged in selecting and testing participants did the injections
