Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells of Adipose and Connective Tissue in People with Osteoarthritis: A Case Control Prospective Multi-Centric Non-Randomized Study

Abstract

Objective: Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), containing high amount of stem cells and other regenerative cells, can be easily obtained from loose connective tissue that is associated with adipose tissue. Here we evaluated safety and clinical efficacy of freshly isolated autologous SVF cells in a case control prospective multi-centric non-randomized study in patients with grade 2-4 degenerative osteoarthritis.
