Abstrakt: Intra-articular blood, iron and hemosiderin, hydroxyl radical cytokines, and neo-angiogenesis cause synovial inflammation, which leads to cartilage and joint damage. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) inhibits most of the mediators that produce and maintain synovitis. We compile here our work showing the clinical effectiveness of intra-articular PRP injections and their potential role in stopping articular cartilage damage due to bleeding and its possible repair. A total of 116 joints, including knees (63%), elbows (19.8%), and ankles (17.2%), were treated with intra-articular injections of PRP. Moreover, we also show here the number of extracellular DNA traps (ETs) and the PRP effect in the synovial fluid of patients at the time of treatment and six months after. Clinically, it is demonstrated that PRP is effective in reducing bleeding episodes (p < 0.001) and pain (p < 0.0001) and improving the hemophilia joint health score (HJHS) (p < 0.001) at one year of follow-up. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that PRP inhibits ET formation in vitro and reconstitutes the immune system's cellular components in the synovial fluid of patients after treatment. We conclude that PRP can be considered an effective, safe, and easy treatment for hemophilic synovitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
