Özet

Objectives: There is no consensus on the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and autologous conditioned serum (ACS) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Also, the group of patients who will benefit most from this treatment is not clear. This study aims to understand the effects of two treatment modalities: ACS and PRP on pain and clinical scores in the treatment of OA. For this reason, we compared the long-term (five-year follow up) clinical results of the patients to whom these two treatment methods were applied.
