PRP treatment for the knee joint is usually three injections over a week to provide pain relief. We know that PRP is also called platelet lysate, and it is done by extracting the patient’s own blood, then extracting platelets, and then injecting the extracted platelets into the joint cavity in three times, which is a course of treatment. Then, through research, platelets have more than 80 kinds of factors and have the effect of regenerating cartilage. For elderly people who have partial cartilage destruction, treatment by PRP is very effective, but if patients have serious cartilage destruction, this treatment cannot be used and surgery is needed. People who have been treated with PRP usually have their MRI reviewed within two months and can see the imaging changes of partial cartilage regeneration.
