Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates clinical outcome and imaging outcome parameters after intraarticular injection of steroids, platelet-rich-plasma (prp), hyaluronic acid or placebo in patients with early osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is a very common disease in middle aged and elderly patients. This study evaluates the efficiency of different commonly used substances for intraarticular, non-operative treatment in early stages of this disease.

120 patients receive an fluoroscopic guided injection in the knee joint: 30 patients get injection with steroids 30 patients get injection with prp 30 patients get injection with hyaluronic acid 30 patients get injection with placebo (iopamiro contrast media)

Primary outcome: - clinical outcome (pain using numeric rating scale)

* Magnetic Resonance imaging (cartilage defects etc.)
