Clinical Trial Summary

Recently an articular cartilage repair has been given much attention in the orthopaedic field. Cartilage regeneration capacity is very limited. Optimal approach seems to be a delivery of natural growth factors. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains proliferative and chemoattractant growth factors. The objective of the present study was to determine if PRP can increase tibiofemoral cartilage regeneration and improve knee function.


Clinical Trial Description

Fifty consecutive and strictly selected patients, affected by Grade II or III chondromalacia, underwent one year treatment (9 injections) with autologous PRP in a liquid form with 2,0 to 2,5-fold platelets concentration. Outcome measures included hte Lysholm, Tegner, IKDC, and Cincinnati scores. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate cartilage thickness and degree of degeneration. ;
