A single intraarticular platelet-rich plasma improves pain and function for patients with early knee osteoarthritis: Analyses by radiographic severity and age.
Most studies use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) requiring multiple intraarticular injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA). ⋯ One injection of PRP improved pain and function for 6 months for patients with early knee OA. This study supports putting the one-injection regimen into clinical practice. Further research is needed for more definite conclusions.
