Comparative Evaluation of Low-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid and Autologous Conditioned Serum in Coxarthrosis

Abstract

For the first time the results of a comparative evaluation of low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid (synocrom forte) and autologous conditioned serum (ACS) in coxarthrosis (CA) are presented. Throughout the 12-month monitoring we examined 54 patients with CA who were divided into 2 groups of comparable age and sex composition and the duration of the disease. Group №1 had a 3-week course of local therapy of synocrom forte and group №2 - of ACS. It is concluded that the use of ACS at CA to achieve favorable clinical effects is almost as good as hyaluronic acid, but it characterized by a greater duration of their conservation (from six to twelve months).
