Summary
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), due to its high content of cytokines, bioactive proteins and
platelet growth factors, may contribute to diminish the pain of arthritic knee. It was also
recently recognized a regenerative cell potential improving the concentration of hyaluronic
acid and stabilizing angiogenesis in arthritic knees
This study therefore seeks to assess the analgesic power of PRP in osteoarthritic knees
intraarticularly infiltrated, and which patients would benefit most from treatment,
eliminating false expectations in the rest.
