Current Treatments for OsteoArthritis of each knee (OAK) are lack of. They provide symptom relief only and don't restore articular cartilage.

This is an excerpt from a presentation upon the American College of Rheumatology meeting within ultrasound-guided procedure using autologous mesenchymal base cells, growth factors, and one fat matrix (GMSCL).

The installed and operating hypothesis was: autologous stem cells from bone marrow is advised stimulated to grow cartilage if available with...

• A proper scaffold
• Autologous development stimulating factors
• Limited weight-bearing

Our patient profile consisted of the following...

• 22 patients
• 36-64 years produced by age
• 16 men; 6 women
• BMI: 21-36. 1
• Kellgren-Lawrence type:
o 6 grade 2
o 10 secondary 3
o 6 grade 4

In appointment time, patients were given has been instructions...

• No NSAIDS (oral and topical) to begin with month prior and 30 days post
• No fish oil begin with month prior and 1 month post
• May continue preventive baby aspirin
• No intraarticular injections of any kind 1 month prior or during 1 year follow up.

Our procedure could possibly be analogous to "Preparing a greater Garden"

• Sixty cc's marrow got posterior iliac crest (5 cc's set up cell concentrate~ 6 billion stem cells)- "seeds"
• Sixty cc's peripheral blood for advent of platelet -rich plasma (5 cc's)- "fertilizer"
• Fifteen cc's fat via abdomen or flank- "soil"

Ultrasound well-advised fenestration was performed in all patients.

• Purpose: incite acute inflammatory response
• Joint capsule sites
- answered back line
- adductor tubercle
- medial patellar facet

Regional Treatment d from fenestrated areas and joint was and direct ultrasound-guided instillation of...

• Stem cells
• Platelet-rich plasma
• Subcutaneous fat
• Calcium chloride/thrombin

Post-procedure, patients were given has been instructions...

• Non-weight-bearing for two weeks
• Limited weight-bearing with brace that unloads affected compartment for four to six weeks

A summary of our results is as follows...

Data Available

• 11 Men and women at 6 months
• 10 Men and women at 12 months

Treatment failures

• Four patients
• Defined as patients devoid of any clinical improvement after a couple of months

Two other "failures"

• A single person died of an irrelevant illness
• One person lived very good away to come back

Five end users haven't hit the four month mark

Example of each Celebrex vs placebo in the least OA trials

Mean composite WOMAC rank (pain, stiffness, physical function) equals -5. 7 (-7. 5 to do so -3. 9)

Ultrasound calculate of patello-femoral cartilage wider at 7 standardized points

• Knee flexed to 90 degrees
• Exact same sites matched for accuracy
• Five measurements every point for reproducibility
• High and low dropped in which three middle averaged

Ultrasound live of patello-femoral cartilage thick at 7 standardized points

• Mean improvement from baseline to 6 months (11 pts) - 0. 4 mm
• Mean improvement dependant upon baseline to 12 awhile (10 pts) - 0. 8 mm

Conclusion

While it is an uncontrolled study, GMSCL demonstrates some promise lastly Treatment for OAK. Extras study is recommended
