Knee Osteoarthritis With Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells

Summary

This is an interventional study to treat knees osteoarthritis (KOA) with adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cell components in sixteen subjects with either unilateral or bilateral symptomatic Kellgren Lawence Grade 3 KOA by intra-articular injection of knees. Later, subjects were followed for safety out and potential benefits.
