The use of platelet-rich autologous plasma in the treatment of patients with gonarthrosis

In the field of treatment of gonarthrosis, the search for methods to enhance the analgesic effect of drug therapy and reduce the risk of adverse reactions of anti-inflammatory drugs is relevant. The author proposes the use of platelet-rich autologous plasma for these purposes, which has the ability to activate repair at the level of tissue structures, cell proliferation and stimulate angiogenesis in the lesion. The effectiveness of treatment of gonarthrosis with platelet-rich plasma against the background of standard systemic anti-inflammatory therapy was assessed. The data obtained indicate greater effectiveness of treatment of patients with gonarthrosis using platelet-rich plasma in comparison with the results of only basic therapy with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
