Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent form of arthritis worldwide. Intra-articular stromal vascular fraction (SVF) injections are a potential therapeutic option for patients with OA. This study aims to assess the effects of intra-articular SVF injections on knee OA. Methods: Ten patients with knee OA participated in this study. After being administered intra-articular SVF injections, their outcomes were evaluated using various questionnaires. MRI T2 mapping was conducted and compared before the intervention and 6 months after. All data underwent analysis using various tests.

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)

Ten patients with knee OA were administered intra-articular SVF injections.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intra-articular Stromal Vascular Fraction Injection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Adipose tissue was harvested using the Q-graft system (Human Med®) from the abdominal subcutaneous fat of patients under local anesthesia. After concentration and resuspension in normal saline, 5 mL of the SVF suspension was injected into the knee joint cavity under sterile conditions.
