Knee osteoarthritis can frequently occur with advancing age. In cases of pain that persists despite hot/cold applications, drug therapy and exercise, intra-articular injections are considered. In advanced-stage gonarthrosis, steroid injections may respond. However, in mild and moderate knee arthritis, regenerative methods come to the forefront because the joint cartilage is still partially/completely intact. PRP and ozone therapy are frequently applied intra-articular treatments. This study will compare the effects of both injection methods on clinical outcomes.
Knee osteoarthritis is a common arthrosis that can be encountered frequently with increasing life expectancy. In mild-moderate stages, hot/cold applications, drug treatments and exercise applications are usually applied, while in those who do not respond, physical therapy or intra-articular injection treatments are applied. This retrospective study aims to examine the effects of intra-articular Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and ozone therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with Stage 2-3 gonarthrosis according to the Kelgren-Lawrence (KL) Classification.

| Pain, stiffness and physical function-WOMAC | The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used self-administered health status measure used in assessing pain, stiffness, and function in patients with OA of the hip or knee. The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). The scores for each sub-scale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. Usually a sum of the scores for all three sub-scales gives a total WOMAC score. |

| Quality of life-SF-12 | The 12-item short-form health survey (SF-12) quality of life scale was used to evaluate general quality of life. It was presented as a physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS). Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3rd month |
