Abstract

Osteoarthritis, both idiopathic and post-traumatic, is currently the most significant problem in orthopedics. It is particularly difficult to treat patient with comorbidities, when it is necessary to decide on surgery for a late-stage joint disease. An operation is associated with a great risk in such patients. Even if the patient does not have serious somatic disorders, the main task of doctors (and this is a multidisciplinary problem) is to prolong joint functioning and maintain the patient’s quality of life.

In this article, we report difficult cases, when a complex of non-pharmacological (therapeutic exercise, physiotherapy, orthobiology – PRP therapy) and pharmacological (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, chondroprotectors, vitamins, calcium, tissue repair stimulants) treatments ensured a good effect, thereby maintaining the joint function and adequate quality of life without surgery. We also found that the use of Ambene® Bio (a chondroprotector) increased treatment efficacy.
