First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tested whether injecting a patient's own fat-derived cells (stromal vascular fraction) into the damaged knee tendon could improve symptoms and function in patellar tendinopathy. Thirty adults with tendon damage seen on imaging were treated. The goal was to control the disease and ease pain, not to provide a permanent cure.
