Adding Intra-Articular Growth Hormone to Platelet Rich Plasma under Ultrasound Guidance in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Comparative Double-Blind Clinical Trial.
/
WOMAC score in both groups has been significantly reduced after injections (P = 0.030). WOMAC score reduction in group PS in first month was significantly higher than group P, but in second month 2, the difference between two groups was not significant (P = 0.235). No complication was observed.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results showed that adding growth hormone to platelet rich plasma for intra-articular injection improved function of the osteoarthritic knee joint in short period of time.
