Abstract
(1) Background: Current treatments for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), such as intra-articular corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, are controversial due to their ineffectiveness in preventing disease progression. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become a promising and possible treatment for KOA. It is thought to enhance articular cartilage regeneration and reduce OA-related impairment. PRP contains growth factors such as PDGF-BB, which stimulates growth and inhibits joint damage. Based on numerous studies, after a certain amount of time, it was found that multiple PRP treatments reduced pain more than a single injection. This study evaluates the efficacy of multiple PRP (m-PRP) injections compared to multiple HA (m-HA) injections for KOA treatment, focusing on their correlation with PDGF-BB levels. (2) Methods: In this single-center, open-label, randomized, comparative clinical trial, 30 KOA patients received m-PRP and m-HA injections. VAS and WOMAC were used to evaluate clinical outcomes and PDGF-BB concentrations. (3) Results: The study analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in pain indices. In both the m-PRP and m-HA groups after 12 weeks, m-PRP showed superior results. PDGF-BB concentrations also increased, with a strong negative correlation and statistical significance using Spearman's rho. (4) Conclusions: Multiple PRP injections are safe and associated with elevated PDGF-BB, reduced VAS and WOMAC scores, providing the potential for articular cartilage regeneration and inhibiting knee osteoarthritis progression.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, is an anionic glycosaminoglycan widely distributed throughout various tissues of the human body. It stands out from other glycosaminoglycans as it lacks sulfation and can attain considerable size: the average human synovial HA molecule weighs about 7 million Dalton (Da), equivalent to roughly 20,000 disaccharide monomers; although some sources report a lower range of 3-4 million Da. In recent years, HA has garnered significant attention in the field of rheumatology due to its involvement in joint lubrication, cartilage maintenance, and modulation of inflammatory and/or immune responses. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of HA's involvement in rheumatology, covering its physiology, pharmacology, therapeutic applications, and potential future directions for enhancing patient outcomes. Nevertheless, the use of HA therapy in rheumatology remains controversial with conflicting evidence regarding its efficacy and safety. In conclusion, HA represents a promising therapeutic option to improve joint function and alleviate inflammation and pain.

Abstract
Osgood-Schlatter disease is the most common osteochondritis of the lower limb in sport-practicing children and adolescents. Its manifestation usually coincides with the appearance of the secondary ossification center of the tibia and is linked to the practice of sports with an explosive component. In the present study, a review of the factors related to its appearance, diagnosis and treatment was carried out. Its appearance seems to be multifactorial and related to multiple morphological, functional, mechanical and environmental factors. Given all the above, risk factor reduction and prevention seem the most logical strategies to effectively prevent the appearance of the condition. In addition, it is essential to create prevention programs that can be objectively assessed and would allow to stop the progress of the pathology, particularly in those sports where high forces are generated on the insertion zone of the patellar tendon at sensitive ages. More studies are needed to clarify which type of treatment is the most appropriate—specific exercises or the usual care treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study compare the short and long-term efficacy of the intra articular injections (IAIs) of hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), and ozone in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 238 patients with mild to moderate knee OA were randomized into 4 groups of IAIs: HA (3 doses weekly), PRP (2 doses with 3 weeks interval), PRGF (2 doses with 3 weeks interval), and Ozone (3 doses weekly). Our outcome measures were the mean changes from baseline (immediately from the first injections) until 2,6, and 12 months post intervention in scores of visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Lequesne index. RESULTS A total of 200 patients enrolled in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 56.9 ± 6.3 years, and 69.5% were women. In 2 months follow up, significant improvement of pain, stiffness, and function were seen in all groups compared to the baseline, but the ozone group had the best results (P < 0.05). In 6 month follow up HA, PRP, and PRGF groups demonstrated better therapeutic effects in all scores in comparison with ozone (P < 0.05). At the end of the 12th month, only PRGF and PRP groups had better results versus HA and ozone groups in all scores (P < 0.05). Despite the fact that ozone showed better early results, its effects begin to wear off earlier than other products and ultimately disappear in 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Ozone injection had rapid effects and better short-term results after 2 months, but its therapeutic effects did not persist after 6 months and at the 6-month follow up, PRP,PRGF and HA were superior to ozone. Only patients in PRP and PRGF groups improved symptoms persisted for 12 months. Therefore, these products could be the preferable choices for long-term management.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of four treatments in the management of knee osteoarthritis. We carried out a randomized clinical trial with four study arms in an outpatient Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at a University Hospital. In total, 120 patients with knee osteoarthritis ≥50 years of age were randomly allocated to four groups. The primary outcome was knee pain in visual analog scale and the secondary outcome was the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. The exercise was prescribed daily for all participants throughout the study. For physical therapy (group 1), participants received superficial heat, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and pulsed ultrasound. We administered a single intra-articular injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (group 2) and three injections of hyaluronic acid (group 3) or 20% dextrose (group 4) to patients in the corresponding groups. Mixed analysis of variance showed that there was statistically significant difference between the groups in pain (P < 0.001), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (P < 0.001). Pairwise between- and within-group comparisons showed that botulinum neurotoxin and dextrose prolotherapy were the most, and hyaluronic acid was the least efficient treatments for controlling pain and recovering function in patients. An intra-articular injection of botulinum toxin type A or dextrose prolotherapy is effective first-line treatments. In the next place stands physical therapy particularly if the patient is not willing to continue regular exercise programs. Our study was not very supportive of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid as an effective treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
