The purpose of this in brief article was to determine the current role of intraarticular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of painful KOA. It has been reported that the average duration of effectiveness (pain relief) of one injection of extended-release HA is around one year. Kellgren-Lawrence grade (I-II versus III-IV), male gender, and older age are associated with a longer duration of effectiveness. Cartilage degeneration might be improved with a higher number of injections of HA. Intraarticular injections of HA alleviate pain, function, and diminish non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption. In addition, several studies have indicated that the combination of HA and PRP is more effective than HA alone. Finally, other studies seemed to demonstrate that PRP was more effective than HA.
这篇简短文章的目的是确定关节内注射透明质酸(HA)和富血小板血浆(PRP)在治疗疼痛性膝骨关节炎(KOA)中的当前作用。据报道,单次注射缓释HA的平均有效持续时间(疼痛缓解)约为一年。凯尔格伦-劳伦斯分级(I-II级与III-IV级)、男性性别和年龄较大与较长的有效持续时间相关。增加HA注射次数可能改善软骨退变。关节内注射HA可减轻疼痛、改善功能并减少非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的使用。此外,多项研究表明,HA与PRP联合使用比单独使用HA更有效。最后,其他研究似乎表明PRP比HA更有效。
