Platelet-rich autoplazma in treating patients of non-working age with knee osteoarthritis

The work is devoted to the analysis of the results of treatment of patients of elderly and senile age with osteoarthritis of the knee. elderly and senile age patients most often suffer knee osteoarthritis. However, surgical treatment (osteotomies, arthroplasty) sometimes fraught with high operational risk. Many authors believe arthroscopy for older patients inappropriate, not leading to the desired result. Conservative medical therapy also has a number of contraindications, its effectiveness in most cases insufficient. The aim of the study was to create a system of integrated care for patients of elderly and senile age with knee osteoarthritis, which includes arthroscopy and intraarticular injecting therapy.Treated and analyzed the results of three groups of patients who injected intraarticular platelet-rich autoplasma (Group 1), hyaluronic acid (Group 2) and perform the traditional con-servative therapy (chondroprotectors and NSID). Patients with adequate evidence, as the first stage of treatment carried out arthroscopy. The results were evaluated through 6 months and after 1 year. It is proven that the best results were achieved when combined treatment Arthroscopy and subsequent course of intra-articular therapy with application of platelet-rich autoplasma.
