Corticosteroids Versus Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis: Where is there More Evidence? A Systematic Review of 60 Years of Literature
PRP injections for knee OA have been documented in more studies and in larger patient numbers compared with CS injections. The higher number of high-level trials for PRP, combined with the lower safety and efficacy documented for CS by previous meta-analyses directly comparing the two products, strongly suggests reconsidering current guidelines that favor CS, highlighting PRP’s body of evidence and the potential role in the effective and safe treatment of knee OA.
