Do you know of studies about the efficacy of intra articular injection of autologous fat in knee joint osteoarthritis helping in pain relief or ligament regeneration ?
Well, Now I am a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. I am not aware of current practice on this Orthopaedic topics.
Khaled,
Although, not an orthopedic surgeon, I work with orthopedics often. Quite familiar with stem cell injections but the only mention of adipose was Black et el (2007), where they described adipose-derived stem cells.
Regards,
Christopher
