Knee Replacement Surgery Alternatives?

January 9, 2019

According to recent studies, PRP (Plasma Rich Platelets) reduces pain and leads to a more effective and lasting functional recovery than corticosteroid with local anesthetic. Steroid injections have been used for six decades and time has come for it to be replaced by PRP injections. According to a report in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, PRP therapy has great potential for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. About 73% of the patients treated with the PRP therapy showed delay in the progress of osteoarthritis and did not need total knee replacement. PRP treatments are a great alternative or first line therapy to treat knee problems before considering total knee replacement and also can be used to turn on the healing cascade post knee replacement. Also, not all PRP treatments are similar. Technique, equipment, education and skills matter to provide optimal outcome. Otherwise, people start believing that it does not work. Dr. Roshni N.
