About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Knee Osteoarthritis

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. patients older than 50 years
  2. a diagnosis of primary knee osteoarthritis
  3. Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading scale smaller than 3
  4. both male and female.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. patients younger than 50 years of age
  2. K-L grade 3 or more
  3. history or active presence of clinically significant inflammatory articular or rheumatic disease other than OA
  4. generalized OA
  5. the detection of rapidly progressive OA before the start of the trial
  6. underwent any previous lower extremity surgery
  7. excessive mechanical axis deviation (varus > 5°, valgus > 5°)
  8. body mass index larger than 30
  9. history or presence of malignant disorders
  10. systemic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, severe cardiovascular diseases, hematologic diseases, immune-deficiencies, and infections
  11. systematic or intra-articular corticosteroid therapy in the previous 3 months
  12. prior treatment with HA in the past 6 months
  13. anticoagulants or antiaggregants therapy in the preceding 30 days
  14. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications in the preceding 7 days

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The change of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index (WOMAC) score from baseline
The minimum value of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index (WOMAC) score is zero and the maximum is 96, whether higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The change of Knee Cartilage Grading System from baseline
The Cartilage Grading System classifies the cartilage from grades 0 to 6 according to parameters of sharpness, clarity and thickness change of the cartilage band. Grade 0 refers to normal and healthy cartilage, while grade 6 refers to severely eroded cartilage, whether higher scores mean a worse outcome.
The change of Knee Cartilage strain ratio from baseline
The strain represents the elasticity. We used the overlying soft tissue as reference. Larger strain ratio means the cartilage is softer, while smaller strain ratio means the cartilage is harder.
The change of MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) from baseline
Fourteen subregions are defined for scoring of articular cartilage and bone marrow lesions in cluding patella, femur and tibia region. Grade 0 refers to normal and healthy cartilage without loss, while grade 3 refers >75% cartilage full thickness loss, whether higher scores mean a worse outcome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To compare the efficacy and structural change of intraarticular single platelet-rich plasma(PRP) versus novel crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid(HA)(HyajointPlus) for the treatment of early stage knee osteoarthritis(OA). This was a prospective, double-blind, RCT with an allocation ratio of 1:1.
Detailed Description
In the PRP group, an Aeon Acti-PRP set was used and an approximately 4-mL PRP volume was yielded and was used in a single-dose treatment. In the HA group, HYAJOINT Plus containing 60 mg of purified sodium hyaluronate was used in a single-dose treatment. All PRP and HA injection syringes were covered with opaque envelop, and the intra-articular injection procedure was performed by the same physician without ultrasound or other imaging guidance.
