Effectiveness and Safety of Autologous ADRC for Treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Partial Rupture

Effectiveness and Safety of Intraarticular Administration of Autologous Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells for Treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Partial Rupture

Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) will be extracted using Celution 800/CRS System (Cytori Therapeutics Inc) from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. Patients will undergo knee arthroscopic surgery followed by one-time intraarticular ADRC administration (directly into anterior cruciate ligament). This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.

Patients with verified diagnosis partial rupture of anterior cruciate ligament will undergo liposuction from front abdominal wall under local anesthesia. After that autologous ADRC will be extracted using Celution 800/CRS System (Cytori Therapeutics Inc) from harvested adipose tissue. Same day patients will undergo knee arthroscopic surgery followed by one-time intraarticular freshly isolated ADRC administration (directly into anterior cruciate ligament close to the rupture).
