A Comparative Study of Functional Outcome in Patients with Early Osteoarthritis of Knee Treated with Platelet-Rich Plasma with Conventional Treatment

Author: M.K. KUMAR, M. NARAYANA REDDY
Abstract: Across the world, the most commonest adult joint disease is osteoarthritis OA. OA is a disease of synovial joint involving the whole joint organ affecting primarily the cartilage, bone and capsule. WHO estimates 40% of people over the age of 70 years agonize from OA knee. The average Indian life expectancy is approximately 69.6 years. Due to increased awareness about osteoarthritis (OA) people report with early symptoms in the orthopaedic clinics. Pharmacological therapy needs a long term usage and most of the patients have contraindications for long term usage of NSAIDs. In spite of great advances in the knee joint replacement surgery and improved biomechanics, the best available implant design cannot match the natural knee function and mechanics. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency of platelet amusing plasma in patients suffering from early osteoarthritis of knee and compare the functional outcomes of autologous platelet rich plasma with conventional treatment in patients diagnosed with initial osteoarthritis of knee.
