Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major cause of pain and disability among older adults. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising biologic therapy aimed at modulating inflammation and promoting cartilage repair. As the clinical use of PRP has expanded, a rapidly growing body of literature has developed examining its efficacy and mechanisms of action in knee OA. Bibliometric analysis provides a useful method to evaluate research productivity, collaborative networks, and emerging trends within a scientific field.
