Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease of articular cartilage. PRP is an alternative therapy indicated especially after failure of conventional treatments. However, it is increasingly finding a place as a first-line treatment for moderate gonarthrosis, and studies are conclusive in this regard.

We report the experience of the military hospital of Laayoune in the practice of this technique through a prospective study of 14 knees in 12 patients during the year 2019.

The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of intra-articular PRP injection in patients with moderate gonarthrosis.
