Similar Clinical Outcomes with Intra-Articular PRP and HA Injections For Treatment of Hip OA .
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.
Efficacy of Ultrasound-guided Intra-articular Injections of Platelet-rich Plasma Versus Hyaluronic Acid for Hip Osteoarthritis
Orthopedics. 2013 Dec;36(12):e1501-8.One hundred patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to receive 3 consecutive injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or hyaluronic acid (HA) once every two weeks. The outcomes of interest included the Harris Hip Score (HHS), pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption. Outcomes were assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment. Results revealed no significant differences in HHS and VAS pain scores at all time points between PRP and HA treatments; however, a significant improvement was found for both groups at follow-up of 1-3 months. Also, NSAID consumption was significantly reduced over time in both groups.
