Research Article: Efficacy of a single ultrasound-guided injection of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid combined with collagen tripeptide in patients with knee osteoarthritis and chondrocalcinosis
Abstract:
Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) often co-exist, this resulting in a clinical condition characterized by amplified inflammation and more severe and faster cartilage degeneration compared to OA alone. Our study aims to explore the efficacy of a therapeutic approach that addresses both conditions, using a combination of a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) and collagen tripeptide (CTP). Additionally, safety profile and baseline characteristic predictive value were evaluated.
