Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a platelet concentrated obtained from autologous blood centrifugation. This concentration technique provides larger amounts of biologically active molecules, mainly growth factors that are responsible for tissue repair. PRP (platelet rich plasma) contains a higher concentration of platelets from baseline (150,000-350,000 / ul).
Hylan G-F 20 is a viscous, sterile and non-pyrogenic elasto fluid containing hylan. Hylans are byproducts from hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid sodium salt), consisting of repeating disaccharides of N-acetylglucosamine and sodium glucuronate. Hylan G-F 20 replaces and supplements the synovial fluid. It is effective at any stage of the joint pathology.

EVA scale for pain measure.
The patient assesses the sensation of pain following a horizontal visual analog scale (EVA) with values between 0 ("no pain") and the value 100 ("excruciating pain"). The records taken are recorded in the medical record of the patient.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Harris Hip Score for pain, function and range of motion measure.
It is a questionnaire developed to evaluate hip surgery or replacement. It is widely used for evaluation of hip disorders and treatment methods.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
WOMAC questionnaire for pain, stiffness and joint mobility measure.
It is a standardized questionnaire, widely used for assessment of both knee and hip osteoarthritis. It consists of five items for assessing pain (range 0-20), two items that assess the stiffness (range 0-8) and 17 items that evaluate the functionality of the joint (range 0-68).
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
