Most Publications Regarding Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in the Knee are From Asia, Investigate Injection for Osteoarthritis, and Show Outcome Improvement: A Scoping Review
To evaluate and synthesize the available literature related to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of knee pathologies and to provide recommendations to inform future research in the field.
Autologous Versus Allogeneic Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review, Pairwise and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disorder with limited non-surgical treatment options. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (AD-MSC) therapy has emerged as a promising regenerative approach; however, the comparative efficacy and safety of autologous versus allogeneic AD-MSCs remain unclear. This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) evaluated the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular AD-MSCs in adults with Kellgren-Lawrence Grade II-IV knee OA
Intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma injection is more effective than intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials
We aim to compare the clinical effects of intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) injection with those of intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in adult patients with knee osteoarthritis.
