Trattamento conservativo della gonartrosi: Platelet Rich Plasma vs acido ialuronico
Abstract
CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF GONARTHROSIS: PLATELET RICH PLASMA VERSUS HYALURONIC ACID
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative pathology characterised by progressive joint degeneration, which is responsible for the
gradual and chronic onset of pain and functional limitations. Owing to its high incidence and frequency in young
adults, the treatment of early knee osteoarthritis is currently an important challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon.
Over the past 30 years, several techniques have been introduced for the treatment of conservative and
non-conservative osteoarthritis, and today the therapeutic possibilities have expanded considerably compared to the
past. The aim of this study was to report and compare the clinical and functional results of 60 patients with grade III
gonarthrosis according to the Kellgren-Lawrence Classification treated with intra-articular infiltrations of Platelet
Rich Plasma (PRP) or hyaluronic acid.
