A 24-Month Follow-Up Study of the Effect of Intra-Articular Injection of Autologous Microfragmented Fat Tissue on Proteoglycan Synthesis in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
This paper published in December 2019, reports on patients with advanced knee arthritis treated with Micro-fragmented Fat. The patients were monitored over a 24-month period. Their pain and function were recorded; and all had an MRI scan immediately before the treatment and 24 months after.
17 patients were enrolled and 10 fulfilled the criteria for follow-up. Three had a joint replacement and 4 were lost to follow-up. All of the 10 patients followed-up at 24 months showed a significant reduction in pain and an overall notable increase in the volume of cartilage measured on the contrast-enhanced MRI scan.
This study demonstrates a degree of regeneration of the cartilage which is associated with pain relief in a significant proportion of patients who had a single injection of micro-fragmented fat for knee arthritis.
Cell therapy versus simultaneous contralateral decompression in symptomatic corticosteroid osteonecrosis: a thirty year follow-up prospective randomized study of one hundred and twenty five adult patients
Mr Ali Noorani “A further study in hip arthritis with femoral head osteonecrosis was published in 2018. The study included a total of 125 patient in bilateral hip osteonecrosis. The results are very interesting, this was a 30 year follow up of perspective randomised study of a large number of patients. These patients who had bilateral osteonecrosis i.e both hips are affected, the larger lesions were treated with BMAC and the smaller lesions were treated with just decompression. Overall, the results of bone marrow were clearly superior. Only 28% of the bone marrow group collapsed compared to 72% of the decompression group. In addition, only 24% of the patients had total hip replacement compared to 76% of just the decompression group.”
