Abstract
BACKGROUND: Adipose tissue-derived stem cells are an interesting therapeutic option for early knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment due to their high plasticity, easiness of harvesting and rapidity of administration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term effectiveness and safety of Microfragmented Autologous Fat Tissue (MFAT) injection treatment at 4-year follow-up and to investigate potential correlations among patients' pre-treatment clinical condition and clinical outcomes to identify possible predicting factors for procedure success or failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a prospective trial enrolling 46 patients with diagnosis of symptomatic knee OA and failure of previous conservative measures who underwent diagnostic arthroscopy and single autologous MFAT injection between June 2017 and July 2018. Patients were assessed with repeated clinical scoring systems at baseline, 6 months, 1 and 4 years after surgery. The evaluation included demographic characteristics, arthroscopic findings, and stem cell number from injected tissue. RESULTS: No major complications were reported during follow-up period and there was a significant increase of Lysholm knee score from baseline value of 61.7?±?13.8 to 79.5?±?16.9 at 4 years (p?
