Among the diseases of the knee joint, the following diseases and conditions are considered contraindications to the use of PRP:

Arthrosis of the knee joint or gonarthrosis. Degenerative-dystrophic disease associated with the gradual degradation of articular cartilage. The use of PRP at 1-2 stages allows to improve regenerative processes in cartilage tissue. Due to this effect, a significant slowdown in the development of the pathological process is achieved. With the help of PRP, doctors manage to eliminate many symptoms of arthrosis, delay the need for knee replacement, or even abandon the operation completely if an effective conservative therapy scheme is used, in which PRP is one of the elements.

Injuries. The knee is often injured by athletes. Most often these are ligament ruptures, meniscus damage. There are intra-articular fractures. If the doctor comes to the conclusion that conservative treatment is sufficient, he can use PRP to accelerate the healing of injuries. Otherwise, they can take a very long time to recover. This process takes weeks, or even months.

Operations. After arthroscopic surgical interventions on the knee, a rehabilitation period follows. It continues until all tissue damage is restored. PRP can be used to speed up this process.

Defects of the articular surface. PRP is used for deficiency of cartilage of articular surfaces of any origin. The cause may be injuries, arthrosis, inflammatory diseases of the knee, metabolic pathologies, psoriasis, systemic connective tissue lesions and other diseases. With a small defect, it is possible to strengthen the regenerative processes of PRP. With a significant area of thinning cartilage, surgical treatment is indicated.
