Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common condition affecting a large proportion of the population. It is associated with a significant reduction in quality of life due to pain and limited joint mobility. There are many methods of treatment, among them conservative methods, pharmacological or surgical treatment can be mentioned. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effectiveness of intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (prp) compared to other methods. Platelet-rich plasma is widely used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Many sources prove its effectiveness in reducing pain, compared to injections of other substances, but there are also studies about the lack of sufficient evidence or the effect of prp similar to the placebo effect. The use of platelet-rich plasma is a promising method of treating osteoarthritis, however, further research and long-term observations are needed to introduce this method to the standards of treatment. The article was based on scientific publications in the Pubmed database. The database was searched on July 28 2023 using the phrases 'osteoarthritis', ‘PRP’, ‘Platelet-rich plasma’. After reading the titles of found articles, 39 publications were selected. After the pre-analysis of the abstracts, 15 full-text works were selected to prepare the article.
