Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases.This disease commonly develops in the weight bearing joints of the lower limbs, such as the knee and hip joints. Osteoarthritis is considered a chronic degenerative disorder that is characterized by a loss of articular cartilage. Pathogenesis can involve all of the major articular tissues including cartilage, synovial membrane, subchondral bone and other connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons3. There is no effective therapy available today that alters the pathobiologic course of the disease.In view of vast role of platelet derived growth factors, mesenchymal cells and its safety, this prospective clinical trial is designed in an attempt to compare the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells enhanced with platelet rich plasma in early stages of knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Mesenchymal stem cell suspension

About 8-10ml of bone marrow would be aspirated under strict aseptic precautions, cell fractionationated with Ficoll sol,centrifuged at 1100rpm for 20-30 mins. Buffy layer will be centrifuged again at 1100 rpm for another 20-30 mins. The pellet thus formed will be suspended in 5ml of culture medium. The nucleated stem cells thus isolated, will be incubated at 37deg.C under 5%CO2 in culture flasks for about 4-6weeks. Those cells adherent to flask removed with 0.05% trypsin-EDTA sol and characterised . Those positive for CD90 and CD105 and negative for CD45 and CD34 will be the mesenchymal stem cells. These will then be expanded to 10×106 for use.

BIOLOGICAL

PRP

Twelve patients will be placed in supine position with knee in full extension and under full aseptic precautions 8-10 ml of platelet rich plasma would be injected by lateral approach with an 18-20 G needle.
