Abstract
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet lysate (PL) are nowadays promising candidates in the treatment of articular cartilage lesions. We aimed to compare PRP and PL injection effectiveness in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). A total of fifty women with KOA were included in the study. Patients were treated with intra-articular injections of PRP and PL. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the comparison of VAS, WOMAC, and ROM scores. The concentration levels of growth factors and cytokines were measured by ELISA. All patients showed significant improvements in pain and function following treatment of KOA with PL and PRP compared to baseline. Moreover, PL's concentration of growth factors was significantly higher than PRP. A significant increase was also observed in all of the aforementioned mediators in both PRP and PL products compared to control. These results can introduce PL as a promising and alternative option for KOA therapy in the future.
