Questions About This Case Study
What is PRP and how does it help arthritic knees?
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood, concentrating the platelets and growth factors, then injected into the joint to support the body's repair processes and calm inflammation. For this patient, one injection per knee brought substantially less pain and better mobility.
How many PRP injections are needed for knee osteoarthritis?
It varies with the severity of the arthritis and the individual's response. This patient had an excellent result from a single injection in each knee; others may benefit from a series. A consultation and exam determine the right plan.
Who is a good candidate for PRP knee injections?
People with knee osteoarthritis who want a regenerative, non-surgical option — particularly those looking to reduce pain and improve mobility without joint replacement — are often candidates. An evaluation at our Salisbury, MD practice determines whether PRP is appropriate for your knees.
