Randomized, Double-blind, 12-month, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 100 outpatients . Intervention platelet rich plasma( PRP) prepared from 60 ml of blood by adding novel step of filtration to manual centrifuge step to achieve 7 times concentration. the efficacy was compared with administration of hyaluronic acid. Subjective Womac scores ,6 min pain free walking distance as well objective assessments MRI ,synovial fluid assessments were made out .Absolute counts of platelets as dose was evaluated to be effective in alleviating symptoms in early knee OA.

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes substantial physical disability that limits a person ability to indulge in daily activities. OA related disability has been affecting millions of older adults throughout the world, and the number has almost doubled in 2019.

Though the process of OA could not be reversed, efficient management strategies could help in minimizing primary pain with physical exercises, surgical procedures, and medications.

Prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been dramatically associated with mild to severe side effects, limiting its continuous use. Chondro-protective agents (CPAs) have been proven to provide only minimal symptomatic benefit. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a supreme therapy in OA knee however exact dose ,preparation and duration of benefit still remains unclear.

Study was undertaken to demonstrate the potential of leukocyte depleted PRP in cartilage repair of knee OA using WOMAC scores as subjective assessment tool.

Our research also evaluated objective criteria ing joint space width (JSW),cartilage thickness on MRI, Ultrasound that would improve knee joint function in patients with knee OA.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Outpatients who fulfilled the clinical and radiological criteria set by the American College of Rheumatology for the diagnosis of symptomatic primary knee OA, with pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of >3 in the previous month. In cases where both the knees were symptomatic, the knee which was comparatively more painful was considered.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Evidence of secondary knee OA because of injury, inflammatory or metabolic rheumatic disease, or osteonecrosis;
2. Prior intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA), including lavage and corticosteroids within the previous three months;
3. Severe knee OA, with JSW <1 mm, or surgery required on the evaluated knee in the year
4. Patients with clinically significant systemic disease.
