Knee repair showdown: bone marrow vs. blood plasma

NCT ID NCT04775004

Summary

This study is comparing two different methods to help knee cartilage (meniscus) tears heal better after surgical repair. Researchers are testing whether stimulating bone marrow in the knee or injecting a concentrated platelet solution from the patient's own blood works better. The goal is to see which method leads to stronger healing, fewer re-tears, and better knee function for patients aged 16 and older.
