Polymeric biomaterials: Advanced drug delivery systems in osteoarthritis treatment.

ABSTRACT: Polymeric biomaterials have emerged as a highly promising candidate for drug delivery systems (DDS), exhibiting significant potential to enhance the therapeutic landscape of osteoarthritis (OA) therapy. Their remarkable capacity to manifest desirable physicochemical attributes, coupled with their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, has greatly expanded their utility in pharmacotherapeutic applications. Nevertheless, an urgent necessity exists for a comprehensive synthesis of the most recent advances in polymeric DDS, providing valuable guidance for their implementation in the context of OA therapy. This review is dedicated to summarizing and examining recent developments in the utilization of polymeric DDS for OA therapy. Initially, we present an overview of the intricate path
