Brief Summary:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been reported to be an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The application in ankle OA has rarely been investigated. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intraarticular injection of PRP for the treatment of patients with ankle OA.
Detailed Description:
Methods: In a prospective study, patients with symptomatic ankle OA for at least 6 months were recruited. Patients received a single injection of 3-ml of PRP into symptomatic ankles. The primary outcome was the change from baseline in the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score (0-10cm) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS) score, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle/hindfoot score, single leg stance test (SLS), use of rescue analgesics and patient satisfaction. Adverse events were recorded during the study.
Patients were followed at 1, 3 and 6 months postinjection .
