Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis that can affect all joint structures. The primary goals of osteoarthritis treatment are to alleviate pain, reduce functional limitations, and improve quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, treatment options for osteoarthritis are limited, with most therapeutic approaches focusing on symptom management. Tissue engineering and regenerative strategies based on biomaterials, cells, and other bioactive molecules have emerged as viable options for osteoarthritis cartilage repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most commonly used regenerative therapies today to protect, restore, or increase the function of damaged tissues. Despite promising results, there is conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of regenerative therapies, and their efficacy remains unknown. The data suggest that more research and standardization are required for the use of these therapies in osteoarthritis. This article provides an overview of the application of MSCs and PRP applications.
期刊介绍:
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
