Autologous Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) to Treat Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: Early Outcomes of a Consecutive Case Series.

The study aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical effect, therapeutic response rate (TRR%), and therapy safety of a single intra-articular autologous MFAT injection for symptomatic knee OA. Secondly, patient- and pathology-related parameters were investigated to tighten patient selection for MFAT therapy. Sixty-four subjects with symptomatic mild-severe knee OA were enrolled in a single-center trial and received a unilateral ( = 37) or bilateral ( = 27) MFAT injection.

Joint Surface Lesions in the Knee Treated with an Acellular Aragonite-Based Scaffold: A 3-Year Follow-Up Case Series.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome and repair capacity of a cell-free aragonite-based scaffold in patients with an isolated symptomatic joint surface lesion (JSL) of the knee.

Design: Thirteen patients (age 33.5 ± 8.

Is the flexion-abduction-supination magnetic resonance imaging view more accurate than standard magnetic resonance imaging in detecting distal biceps pathology?

Background And Hypothesis: Partial biceps tendon pathology is difficult to diagnose. The flexion-abduction-supination (FABS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) view has been advocated to improve the accuracy of MRI investigation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the FABS view MRI in the diagnosis of distal biceps tendon pathology.

Autologous protein solution as selective treatment for advanced patellofemoral osteoarthritis in the middle-aged female patient: 54% response rate at 1 year follow-up.

Purpose: The study wanted to investigate the benefit, durability and safety of autologous protein solution (APS) injection(s) in a middle-aged female-only cohort suffering predominantly from patellofemoral osteoarthritis.

Methods: Fifty females (aged 50.4 ± 6.
