Résumé
Purpose
To assess the impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on imaging-based structural outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods
PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to May 2026 evaluating imaging-based structural effects of PRP in knee OA. Risk ratio (RR) was used to evaluate binary outcomes and standardized mean differences (SMDs) or mean differences (MDs) for continuous endpoints, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
