SFPP exerts a comparable therapeutic effect even in end-stage KOA and may be an effective treatment option. Even if patients have end-stage KOA, there are cases in which the patient's background does not allow for surgery positively, such as high perioperative risk or desire for conservative treatment. In such cases, SFPP may be an effective treatment option worth trying.
