Summary

Autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was used to treat 10 osteoarthritic knees of grade II or III (K-L scale) under IRB-approved protocol in a feasibility and safety study. The adipose-derived SVF was obtained through disaggregation of lipoaspirate and resuspension of the SVF in 3 ml of Lactated Ringer's Solution, with a mean of 48 million nucleated SVF cells and a mean viability of 78%, injected per knee. Cell suspension was injected into the intra-articular space using ultrasound guidance. At 12 weeks post-op all 10 knees showed decreased pain and increased mobility, both statistically significant (α = .01). Nine of ten knees reported either maximum possible or very significant decrease in pain. No infections, acute pain flares, or other adverse events were reported. Patient ages ranged from 52 - 69 years with a mean of 59 years.
