Platelet-rich plasma improves pain and function in knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective study
PRP therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for KOA. In this 6-month follow-up investigation, we observed that the number of injections administered affected pain levels, while disease duration and BMI affected knee joint function. Insights from this study may facilitate patient selection and PRP treatment protocol optimization in clinical practice.
