Abstract:
Osteoarthritis knee in initial stages can be managed conservatively by various methods, here we did comparative study between intraarticular GFRP injection vs combination of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid & GFRP injection in bilateral osteoarthritis knee, we concluded that when Growth Factor Rich Plasma (GFRP) is combined with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, it had added effect and the results are much better as compared to the knees when only Growth Factor Rich Plasma (GFRP) injection was injected.
