We report our experience with ACP administration in osteoarthritic knees. 53 patients were treated by four ACP<br />

injections weekly. Lequesne score and class as well as the VAS score were evaluated before and four weeks after<br />

treatment. 32 patient were scored as extremely or very severe before treatment, whereas only one patient remained<br />

in the very severe class after treatment. The reduction in the Lequesne and VAS score was 68 per cent. We<br />

observed 11 per cent non responders.<br />

In conclusion intraarticular ACP administration in osteoarthritic knees offers a simple and cheap pain reduction for<br />

the patient and prevents a knee arthroplasty in patient up to 3 years.<br />
