| Abstract:
|
Across the world, the most commonest adult joint disease is osteoarthritis OA. OA is a disease of synovial
joint involving the whole joint organ affecting primarily the cartilage, bone and capsule. WHO estimates 40% of
people over the age of 70 years agonize from OA knee. The average Indian life expectancy is approximately
69.6 years. Due to increased awareness about osteoarthritis (OA) people report with early symptoms in the
orthopaedic clinics. Pharmacological therapy needs a long term usage and most of the patients have
contraindications for long term usage of NSAIDs. In spite of great advances in the knee joint replacement
surgery and improved biomechanics, the best available implant design cannot match the natural knee function
and mechanics. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency of platelet amusing plasma in patients
suffering from early osteoarthritis of knee and compare the functional outcomes of autologous platelet rich
plasma with conventional treatment in patients diagnosed with initial osteoarthritis of knee.
