Abstract
One of the most common injuries in the structure of joint injuries is trauma of the knee joint, which is largely due to its anatomical features. At the present stage of a knee joint injury treating, as a rule, is the use of surgical methods of correction. However, even surgical intervention is not a guarantee of complete recovery of such patients.
The objective: to investigate the efficacy and safety of PAP as part of integrated treatment early in the post-traumatic knee joint surgery in younger patients compared with standard treatment.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the KZ KOR «Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital» and included 60 patients in the early post-traumatic period of the knee joint. The patients were divided into two groups. All patients included in the study received standard treatment (NSAIDs, complex physiotherapy) for 10 days. In agreement with the patients, 30 patients (Gr.1) received 3 intraarticular injections of PAP in addition to standard treatment. Within each group, the patients did not differ significantly in their age, sex, and duration of the disease. All patients included in the study had a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination before treatment, after 2 and 4 weeks, as well as 6 and 12 months.
Results. During the treatment period, the patients of both groups showed a positive result both in the general index of KOOS and in the indices of all subscales, with statistically significant differences between the groups. Moreover, the most revealing changes in each group were for the two subchalates – sport and activity on rest and assessment of quality of life. The analysis of the safety of complex therapy with the use of PAP in the form of intra-articular injections in knee joint injuries did not reveal any case of development of undesirable events, except for a temporary painful sensation at the injection site.
Conclusions. The use of PAP in the treatment of knee joint injuries reduce pain, stiffness, improves the function of the knee joint, and also reduces the need for use of NSAIDs.##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
