Background: A previously published trial showed that patients with chronic gluteal tendinopathy achieved greater clinical improvement at 12 weeks when treated with a single platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection than those treated with a single corticosteroid injection (CSI). Purpose: This follow-up study was conducted to determine whether there would be a sustained long-term difference in the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) at 2 years for a leucocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP) injection in the treatment of chronic gluteal tendinopathy. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: This trial included 80 patients randomized 1:1 to receive LR-PRP or CSI intratendinously under ultrasound guidance. Patients had a mean age of 60 years, a 9:1 ratio of women to men, a mean body mass index of 27, and a mean length of symptoms >15 months. No patients had full-thickness tears of the gluteal tendons. An open-labeled extension allowed patients to receive crossover treatment after 3 months. The main outcome measure was the mHHS. Results: The mean mHHS improved significantly at 12 weeks in the PRP group (74.05; SD, 13.92) as compared with the CSI group (67.13; SD, 16.04) ( P = .048). At 24 weeks, the LR-PRP group (77.60; SD, 11.88) improved further than the CSI group (65.72; SD, 15.28; P = .0003). Twenty-seven patients were deemed to have failed the CSI treatment at 16 to 24 weeks, with an exit score of 59.22 (SD, 11.54), and then had treatment with LR-PRP. The crossover group improved with the LR-PRP: from 59.22 (SD, 11.22) at baseline to 75.55 (SD, 16.05) at 12 weeks, 77.69 (SD, 15.30) at 24 weeks, and 77.53 (SD, 14.54) at 104 weeks. The LR-PRP group retained 38 of 39 patients to 52 weeks and continued to improve. Their baseline scores of 53.77 (SD, 12.08) improved to 82.59 (SD, 9.71) at 104 weeks ( P < .0001). Conclusion: Among patients with chronic gluteal tendinopathy and a length of symptoms >15 months, a single intratendinous LR-PRP injection performed under ultrasound guidance results in greater improvement in pain and function than a single CSI. The improvement after LR-PRP injection is sustained at 2 years, whereas the improvement from a CSI is maximal at 6 weeks and not maintained beyond 24 weeks.

Objective: To compare the pain relief efficacy of platelet rich plasma injection with corticosteroid injection in knee osteoarthritis using numeric rating scale. Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anesthesia and Pain Management, Combined Military Hospital Peshawar, from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019. Methodology: Total of 310 patients who underwent knee injection for osteoarthritis were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups; group A and group B comprising of 155 patients each. Patients in group ‘A’ received intra articular corticosteroid injection while patients in group ‘B’ received intra articular platelet rich plasma injection for knee osteoarthritis. Pain assessment via numerical rating score was done at the start of the treatment and at 6 months. Results: In group A female to male ratio was 2.69:1 while in group B the female to male ratio was 2.78:1. Mean age of ‘group A’ was 58.52 ± 11.87 years and that of ‘group B’ was 58.79 ± 11.15 years. Numerical rating score pre-treatment in ‘group A’ vs ‘group B’ was 8.35 ± 1.17 vs 8.42 ± 1.14. While numeric rating scale post treatment in ‘group A’ vs ‘group B’ was 5.74 ± 1.37 vs 4.06 ± 1.19, respectively with p-value of 0.001, which is statistically significant. Conclusion: Patients who received intra-articular platelet rich plasma had significantly more pain relief as compared to patients who received intra-articular steroid on numerical rating score.
