Clinical evidence confirms the efficacy of PRP in the treatment of KOA). Level I and II clinical studies, as well as additional prospective studies, support the safety and clinical benefit of PRP for knee osteoarthritis (OA), which was shown in comparison to both placebo (saline) and control treatments such as hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids. The efficacy of PRP in the treatment of knee OA has been also supported by meta-analyses and confirms the findings of preclinical research. The consensus group can therefore conclude that there is enough preclinical and clinical evidence to recommend/support the use of PRP in knee OA (Grade A).
