Comparing efficacy of intraarticular single crosslinked Hyaluronan (HYAJOINT Plus) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus PRP alone for treating knee osteoarthritis

Abstract: Intraarticular hyaluronan or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). The efficacy of combined hyaluronan with PRP remained inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of combined a single crosslinked hyaluronan (HYAJOINT Plus) and a single PRP versus a single PRP in patients with knee OA. In a prospective randomized-controlled trial, 85 patients with knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence 2) were randomized to receive a single intraarticular injection of HYAJO… Show more

“…To impede OA, PRP therapy utilizes its anti-inflammatory properties for stimulation of growth factors that encourage cartilage matrix synthesis and inhibition of innate immune response cytokines linked to cartilage erosion [ 10 , 36 ]. In addition, PRP reverses the senescence process of chondrocytes, restoring the self-renewing capacity of cartilages [ 37 ].…”

“…Conservative treatment, which can be broadly categorised into pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods, aims to retain patient mobility and reduce pain. Non-pharmacological treatment includes preventive and rehabilitative measures such as weight loss and diet control as KOA is highly related to obesity [ 37 ]. Such measures, being heavily dependent on patient compliance, are often out of the jurisdiction of clinicians and are often used concurrently with pharmacological treatment such as oral analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [ 37 ].…”

“… 48 Similar results were found in a study comparing PRP and HA against HA and PRP alone, where the combined therapy achieved better clinical outcomes. 49 , 50 Preliminary results on a PRP + MSCs combination showed significant reduction of symptoms up to 12 months after the procedure. 51 However, besides the preliminary encouraging results, combination therapy should be proposed with caution, especially when adopting biologic products, and further data should be collected before endorsing its routine application.…”
