The efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma and hyaluronic acid in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a meta-analysis
PRP has a good clinical therapeutic effect on KOA. Based on this meta-analysis, compared with simple intra-articular injection of HA, PRP can improve WOMAC score, VAS score, and IKDC index score after 6 months of treatment, and enhance patients' health status. In terms of the incidence of adverse events, the safety of the two treatment options is similar.
