Case of Successful Treatment of a Patient with Subchondral Fracture of the Knee Joint using Subchondral Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Medicine & Biology Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
We report the treatment of a patient with a pronounced knee pain syndrome related to a subchondral knee joint fracture in the context of osteoarthritis. Traditional treatment methods for this pathology have demonstrated limited efficacy. In our approach, we utilized subchondral Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections to alleviate the pain syndrome and stimulate reparative regeneration. Notably, we achieved a stable and rapid reduction in knee pain, with observed regression of pathological changes on MRI scans after a two-month follow-up.
