Treatment of Osteoarthritis With the Stromal Vascular Fraction of Abdominal Adipose Tissue - a Pilot Study

Summary

To investigate the feasibility and short term safety issues of treatment of knee osteoarthritis with intra-articular injection with the stromal vascular fraction of abdominal adipose tissue (SVF) harvested and prepared using the Lipogems System. Hereby we wish to pave the road for a high quality randomized controlled trial investigating effectiveness of treatment of knee osteoarthritis with SVF looking at patient reported outcome, function, homeostasis of the joint and cartilage regeneration.
