The results suggest that platelet-rich plasma prepared using high-dose anticoagulants or administered to patients with poorly controlled hyperuricaemia may lead to moderate-to-severe knee pain and joint effusion after joint puncture therapy. Platelet-rich plasma had a therapeutic effect on knee osteoarthritis; however, its efficacy gradually decreased over time. SC anticoagulant is more suitable for platelet-rich plasma preparation than is heparin. Further studies are needed to understand the safety and the various factors influencing platelet-rich plasma therapy.
