Although osteoarthritis can affect all joints,&nbsp;knee&nbsp;osteoarthritis is the most common type among adolescents. Non-surgical treatments include corticosteroids injection, hyaluronic acid, and platelet-rich plasma. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of platelet-rich plasma versus hyaluronic acid for the treatment of&nbsp;knee&nbsp;osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n<h4>METHODS:<\/h4>\n<p>Pubmed, Cochran library, Scopus and Ovid databases were investigated to identify related studies from 2000 through August 2015. To study the efficiency, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) outcome using the Standard Mean Difference (SMD) index was calculated using a random model and a confidence interval of 95%. In addition, sensitivity and cumulative analysis were conducted. The data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3.5 and Stata 12 software.<\/p>\n<h4>RESULTS:<\/h4>\n<p>Seven studies with 722 subjects (364 participants in&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;and 358 participants in the HA group) were analyzed. The WOMAC&nbsp;PRPcompared to HA, SMD = -0.75 (95% CI: -1.33 to -0.18, I2 = 92.6%) in treatment of&nbsp;knee&nbsp;osteoarthritis was statistically significant and&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;was more effective.<\/p>\n<h4>CONCLUSION:<\/h4>\n<p>The results of this meta-analysis two years after&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;injection showed the efficacy of&nbsp;PRP&nbsp;versus HA. However, further studies are required to determine the longer-term effects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>KEYWORDS:<\/h4>\n<p>efficacy; hyaluronic acid; meta-analysis; platelet-rich plasma<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electron Physician.&nbsp;2016 Mar 25;8(3):2115-22. doi: 10.19082\/2115. eCollection 2016.
