Impact on the quality of life of patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee after intra-articular administration of bone marrow mononuclear cells

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined treatment of BMMCs alone or in combination of arthroscopic debridement and lavage in treatment of knee OA through resonance image and quality of life questionnaire. In comparison to the mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), the effectiveness is lower, however the costs for manipulation and laboratory handling make it difficult to use in clinical practice.
