Prolotherapy in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: How to Perform
Abstract The conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis is a challenge; since it has no cure, many patients do not want or cannot undergo surgical procedures. Among the various options, we have injectable therapies, especially the so‐called “regenerative,” such as the use of hyaluronic acid, orthobiologicals, and prolotherapy. In the latter, its use
