Clinical Trial Description

The current methods for treating knee osteoarthritis include delaying the disease progression and joint replacement surgery. The usual treatment methods are mostly temporary, such as taking drug and hyaluronic acid injection. Therefore, finding the safe and effective methods will greatly reduce medical resource, medical expenses and surgery cost, etc., and restore the patient's quality of life. Platelet lysate is the product of complete activation from autologous platelet. It contains rich growth factors and cytokines such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF and IGF, etc. It can support cell growth and doesn't have any white blood cells in it.
