Introduction: Plasma rich in protein derived from platelets also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a recent science being used in many fields of medicine including cosmetic and musculoskeletal treatment. It has a very good ability to promote healing and decrease pain when added to certain treatment protocols. Being a simple and minimally invasive method of treatment, it is over-looked as a treatment option for the early osteoarthritis (OA) of knee joint. Well-designed randomized controlled studies and research are needed to measure outcomes, durability of effect while being cost effective Aim of the Research Study: The aim of this study was to prove the use of PRP and its outcome in the clinical treatment of arthritic joint diseases of knee, progression of disease in people treated for early stage OA, and functional outcome of PRP injection in knee degenerative diseases. Materials and Methods: This study was study period-6 months, sample size-50, sample type-patient, and functional outcome assessed using knee osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS). Methodology of Research Work: This study was aimed to prospectively quantify the effect of treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in patients with degenerative joint diseases. Degenerative joint disease treated using PRP injections with an average study period of 6 months was analyzed according to measure of pain at baseline and post-treatment using KOOS. Data Analysis: Collected data will be analyzed by SPSS Software Version 19. Primary Objective: PRP injections aim to relieve pain and to improve functional status of the patient. Results: PRP is effective with treatment for degenerative knee arthritis. The patients found excellent relief in pain and mobility. The range of movement and KOOS score was found to be improved with P < 0.001. Keywords: Platelet-rich plasma, cytokines, degenerative arthritis, knee osteoarthritis outcome scoring
Background-Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign bone tumour with aggressive characteristics. They are more prevalent in the third decade of life and demonstrate a preference for locating in the epiphyseal region of long bones. They have a high local recurrence rate, which depends on the type of treatment and initial tumour presentation Objective- To evaluate the results of the treatment with regard to relapse. Methods- It was a hospital based follow up study done for periods of 7 months. Fifty patients of GCT were recruited in the study through purposive sampling technique.Study being conducted on patients with followup for 12 months. Demographic profile and all the necessary investigation were done. SPSS( Version 22.0) was used for analysis. Chi-Square test was used as test of significance. Results-There was a predominance of males (80%). The most common location was the distal femur. All patients presented with pathologic fracture at diagnosis, recurrence seen after 9months of followup.the most common location for GCT was distal femur seen in 84% of patients, while curettage with cement was the most common treatment done in 89% which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Endoprosthesis was done in 11% patient.
