Summary

This study will explore the effectiveness of intra-articular knee injections in patients with osteoarthritis by comparing Corticosteroid (triamcinolone) vs Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

This study is a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of one hundred and sixty patients (160). Patients would be recruited via new referrals and follow-up appointments in the Orthopaedic clinic at the UHWI (University Hospital of the West Indies) with knee osteoarthritis.

The aim of the study is to:

1. To determine if platelet-rich plasma injections are better at improving functional outcomes in the knee using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) when compared to intraarticular steroids.
2. To identify adverse reactions related to these injections
