I am part of a virtual social group of Regenerative Medicine and Advanced Therapies, where we discuss cases of Regenerative Medicine… and by chance, I receive a “Screenshot”<\/strong>, where a colleague, calls “CHANTAS”<\/strong> to those who use PRP as a non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis for patients not prepared for major knee surgery.This arises from a scientific study<\/strong> published in Bone Joint <\/a><\/strong>on“PRP<\/strong>” compared to placebo group for early degenerative knee osteoarthritis. Lewis E, Merghani K, Robertson I, Mulford J, Prentice B, Mathew R, Van Winden P, Ogden K. The effectiveness of leucocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma injections on symptomatic early osteoarthritis of the knee: the PEAK randomized controlled trial. Bone Joint J. 2022 Jun;104-B(6):663-671. doi: 10.1302\/0301-620X.104B6.BJJ-2021-1109.R2. PMID: 35638203.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n

This study of “False PRP”<\/strong> refers to the injection of platelets and saline solution in a knee as being the same…. <\/p>\n\n

The study is from Australia. As you will see as we analyze this research, something is definitely going on… some doctor, a specialist in traumatology in Argentina, defends that PRP should still NOT be used<\/strong>, and that even those who apply it, are “CHANTAS”<\/strong>, and obviously not for free…(as if these doctors have always operated\/worked for free..)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Let’s review this scientific study that they seek to have as an excuse to defend a totally decadent and obsolete position, (although they may think they have a back, but they really need a good chair of regenerative medicine at the University and know better what we are talking about…).<\/p>\n\n

This new research studied 102 patients with knee arthritis and was published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery<\/strong>, a journal with a scientific impact of 5. <\/p>\n\n

They randomized<\/strong> patients with mild to moderate knee arthritis into three groups: saline alone, PRP alone and <\/strong>then PRP for the first injection, and saline for two more injections<\/strong>. This is the first place where the study gets a little strange…. Given that three weekly PRP injections are the least common type of treatment for this type of knee arthritis, this design makes little common sense…. For example, if you wanted to compare a single PRP injection to a placebo, it would be a comparison to a single saline injection. If you wanted to compare three PRP injections to a placebo, you would obviously compare it to three saline injections. However, it is a mystery why PRP and saline would ever be combined in the same treatment group….. we already got off to a bad start with the research design. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In the end, the authors found no difference between the groups…. This contradicts nearly two dozen randomized, randomized studies with<\/strong> positive<\/strong><\/em> published on the use of REAL PRP (x7 times baseline) to treat osteoarthritis of the knee…. However, since this study used the Arthrex ACP<\/strong> device characterized by Magalon et al, which produces a pitiful X1.3 <\/strong>platelet concentration <\/strong>relative to basal in patient blood, if not even twice the basal value…, this study never used a“REAL PLASMA PLATELET RICH…. PRP”.<\/strong> Rather it is a“PLATELET POOR PLASMA<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n
