Himchan Hospital Director Lee Dong-nyeong's intra-articular injection and platelet activity have a large difference in pain reduction
Nov 21, 2025
On the YouTube channel of Himchan Hospital, the treatment of self-platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intraarticular injections that arthritis patients are curious about is covered in detail. Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital's orthopedic surgeon, and Lee Dong-nyeong, head of the medical center, explain the principle and effectiveness of PRP injection treatment and the differentiated treatment system of Himchan Hospital in "Suchan's Joint Talk".
Autologous platelet-rich plasma intraarticular injection is a non-surgical treatment in which platelets are extracted from the patient's own blood and injected into the knee joint cavity. It is a new medical technology approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and has the effect of relieving pain and improving function of mid-term knee arthritis.
Director of Himchan Hospital Lee Dong-nyeong "In the case of intracranial injection of self-platelet-rich plasma, there is a paper that the effect of symptom relief immediately after treatment continues six months later.""You can expect a great improvement in the patient's pain and daily life as well as in his/her daily life" he/she said."
In addition, the risk of side effects or rejection is low because platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient's own blood is used. Steroid injections have a rapid effect, but there is a risk of side effects when used for a long time, whereas autologous platelet-rich plasma intraarticular injections can be used for a long time and safely. In addition, in this video, the difference between the autologous platelet-rich plasma intraarticular injection treatment method was specifically pointed out.
In the actual treatment process, it was found that the treatment effect was greater using the platelet activating device.
Director Lee Dong-nyeong said "In the case of using the activation device, the pain score before and after the injection procedure was reduced by about half from about 6 to 2.9 while the pain score was reduced from 6.7 before the procedure to 5 after the procedure if not used."
