Evaluation of Intra-Articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Augment Healing of Microfractured Chondral Defects

Purpose This study evaluated intra-articular injection of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to augment healing with microfracture compared with microfracture alone. Methods Ten horses (aged 2.5 to 5 years)…

Osteoarthritis Prevention Through Meniscal Regeneration Induced by Intra-Articular Injection of Meniscus Stem Cells

Meniscus injury is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Current surgical therapy involving partial or complete meniscectomy relieves pain in the short-term but often leads to osteoarthritis (OA) in the long-term.…

Intra-articular injection of human meniscus stem/progenitor cells promotes meniscus regeneration and ameliorates osteoarthritis through stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4-mediated homing.

Conventional rotator cuff repair complemented by the aid of mononuclear autologous stem cells

Purpose To investigate the behavior of rotator cuff tears treated with conventional repair technique with the aid of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC). Methods Fourteen consecutive patients (9 women,…
