Asking For Father, Male 74, Islamabad

Hi Drs,

My father is suffering from knee Osteoarthritis for a long time, looking to get a PRP treatment for knee.

Kindly recommend any specialist/Dr and also any other related advice would be helpful.

Thanks

PRP treatment typically does not work for knees. At least studies have not shown it to be useful for arthritis. Steroid or gel injection may be worthwhile depending on scans look.
