First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested a new one-step treatment called IMPACT for people with knee cartilage damage. It combines a person's own cartilage cells with stem cells to repair the knee in a single surgery. The trial compared 30 people who got IMPACT to 30 people who received standard care (physical therapy and pain medication) for 9 months. The goal was to see if IMPACT improves knee function and quality of life better than standard care.
