Abstract

Introduction

We aimed to identify the effects of intraoperative applied leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) during knee arthroscopy for degenerative lesions involving pain, function and quality of life.

Methods

We performed a randomized controlled, double-blind trial (RCT) including 58 patients for arthroscopic knee surgery for cartilage or meniscal degeneration with allocation into the LP-PRP (n = 24) or control group (n = 34). During arthroscopy, LP-PRP was injected intra-articular in the intervention group. At baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months pain, function, and life quality were assessed.

Results

91 % of enrolled patients were available for 12 months follow-up. Pain was significantly lower in the LP-PRP group (VAS 0.9. vs. 2.3) at 6 (p = 0.008) but not at 12 months (VAS 1.0 vs. 1.6, p = 0.063). LP-PRP application improved the Lysholm Score at 6 (77.5 vs. 65.6, p = 0.033) and 12 months (83.2 vs.70.0, p = 0.007). Assessment of life quality (SF-36) concerning the physical component summary was significantly higher at 6 weeks (33.9 vs. 25.6, p = 0.001) and 6 months (29.9 vs. 27.1, p = 0.027) in the LP-PRP group but equal at 1 year (31.4 vs. 30.1, p = 0.438).

Conclusions

Intraoperative application of LP-PRP may enhance pain reduction and gain of knee function within 6–12 months compared to arthroscopy alone.

Level of evidence

II, randomized controlled clinical trial with reduced power.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
