What is Intraosseous PRGF for the knees and how does it work?
Our intraosseous PRGF treatment for the knees is a medical service that involves the injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma directly into the bone marrow of the knee. The procedure is done under sterile conditions and is intended to help with knee pain and other symptoms.
Intraosseous PRGF works by providing the knee joint with a concentrated source of growth factors that are believed to have a positive effect on knee health.
How can PRGF help treat musculoskeletal and spinal issues?
PRGF can potentially help treat musculoskeletal and spinal issues within some patients. When PRGF is injected into an affected area, the concentrated growth factors in the plasma can stimulate the body's natural healing processes and help to repair damaged tissues. This can lead to reduced pain and improved mobility in patients with musculoskeletal or spinal issues.
How many injections should be given for Knee OA treatment?
Most studies suggest that having more than one injection can lead to better results, especially for early OA. However, the number of injections may depend on factors like the PRP product used, including injection volume and platelet concentration. Based on a consensus group, the recommended range is 2-4 injections, with a grade B recommendation.
Which is better for treating Knee OA: PRP or hyaluronic acid injections?
Studies and meta-analyses have compared PRP and HA for knee OA treatment, with most showing better clinical improvement and longer-lasting effects with PRP. Based on current evidence, PRP is preferred over HA, but differences in product formulations may affect results.
