Usefulness of Platelet Lysate as Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis

Authors

Keywords:

osteoarthrosis, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate.

Abstract

Introduction: The limited capacity for self-regeneration of cartilage increases the importance of finding possible treatments for degenerative joint disorders, as well as of verifying their efficacy.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intra-articular platelet lysate treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study (before-after, without control group) was carried out in a universe of 54 patients with knee osteoarthritis, treated at the Provincial Teaching Hospital in Ciego de Ávila, from January 2018 to June 2019. The complied with the inclusion criteria stipulated in the study. The variables evaluated with the WOMAC questionnaire were pain, stiffness and functional capacity before 15 days, 15 days, one month and three months after applying the treatment. The platelet lysate obtained following the conventional technique, referred to in the "Normative Work Procedures" of the Provincial Blood Bank.

Results: The patients in this study aged between 30-65 years and the majority were overweight women. There was a tendency to improve the results over time of the variables pain, stiffness and functional capacity.

Conclusions: The results obtained allow concluding that the intra-articular infiltration of platelet lysate in these conditions contributed to reduce joint pain, improve stiffness and increase the functional capacity of the patients. Until the period evaluated in this study, no important collateral effects appeared to the infiltration of this product.
