Examination of the effect of PRP on clinical outcome & knee cartilage regeneration on MRI .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2016;4(4):27 Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 2013 Sep;133(9):1295-30175 patients with isolated non-traumatic tibiofemoral cartilage degeneration were randomized to receive an intra-articular injection of either platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or 1% mesocaine (control). Injection protocol consisted of 6 weekly injections, followed by 3 months of no injections, and then subsequently re-continued with 3 additional single injections administered at 3 month intervals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of PRP on cartilage regeneration and knee function at 1 year after the conclusion of treatment. The PRP group displayed significant improvements in knee function outcomes (Lysholm, IKDC, Cincinnati scores) and the control group did not display any improvements, at 1 year. No between-group comparisons were made with respect to knee function outcomes, and the PRP group did not see a significant change in cartilage thickness.
