Abstract:
To evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic method aimed at improving the level of total oligomeric matrix protein in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Material and methods: The study involved 50 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint aged 54.5±4.4 years, who were divided into the main and control groups. Patients in the main group received treatment aimed at reducing the level of oligomeric matrix protein of cartilage; patients in the control group used traditional treatment. Results: The proposed method for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint more effectively reduces the content of oligomeric matrix protein of cartilage, which plays an important role in improving and maintaining the functional abilities of the joints. The treatment differs from the traditional one in that it suppresses the process of cartilage destruction. Conclusions: The proposed treatment method plays an important role in improving and maintaining functionality.
