NCT ID NCT07112885
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tested whether combining a patient's own fat-derived cells (stromal vascular fraction) with a minor surgical procedure called microfracture can improve knee osteoarthritis better than the cell therapy alone. Fifty adults with moderate knee arthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Researchers measured pain, function, and cartilage changes over two years to see if the combination offered superior results.
