Knee osteoarthritis remains one of the most challenging conditions in nonoperative orthopaedics. While hyaluronic acid has long been established in our injectable algorithm, evidence is increasing that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can offer superior and longer-lasting outcomes. Based on data emerging from high-quality, double-blinded, randomized trials, we may now recognize the superiority of PRP as an alternative to other biologic therapies as well.
