A Clinical Translational Study on Repairing Articular Cartilage Injury With Autologous Adipose Gel

A Clinical Translational Study on Repairing Articular Cartilage Injury With Autologous Adipose Gel

66 articular cartilage injury diseases patients were divided into two groups as 1:1. The test group will be treated with arthroscopic micro-fracture with autologous adipose gel, and the control group will be treated with arthroscopic micro-fracture. Postoperative MRI evaluation, Lysholm score, IKDC score, Tegner score, and VAS score will be used as the treatment validity evaluation index, at the same time testing blood routine, blood biochemistry, urine routine, CRP, electrocardiogram and other laboratory tests and recording the occurrence of adverse events.

In this study, 66 patients who were clinically diagnosed as articular cartilage injury diseases were divided into test group and control group according to the ratio of 1:1. The test group will be treated with arthroscopic micro-fracture with autologous adipose gel, and the control group will be treated with arthroscopic micro-fracture. Postoperative MRI evaluation, Lysholm score, IKDC score, Tegner score, and VAS score will be used as the treatment validity evaluation index, at the same time testing blood routine, blood biochemistry, urine routine, CRP, electrocardiogram and other laboratory tests and recording the occurrence of adverse events.
