    TLDR PRP injections improve knee function in osteoarthritis.
    This comprehensive review of 180 studies highlights the growing popularity and effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating knee osteoarthritis. PRP, derived from a patient's own blood, is rich in platelets and shows significant potential for tissue regeneration and wound healing. The findings indicate that PRP injections significantly improve knee joint function compared to alternative treatments, making it a promising option in orthopedic and sports medicine for managing knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, and ligament injuries.
