Adipose-derived stem cells added to microfracture beneficial for knee cartilage lesions .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells With Microfracture Versus Microfracture Alone: 2-Year Follow-up of a Prospective Randomized Trial
Arthroscopy. 2016 Jan;32(1):97-10980 patients with symptomatic cartilage lesion of the knee were selected for inclusion. The purpose of this study was to determine how adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) with fibrin glue and microfracture compared to microfracture alone, in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes, for the treatment of knee cartilage defects. The results found that the patients receiving adipose-derived stem cells with microfracture had significantly greater improvements at 27 months in KOOS pain and symptom subscores and VAS pain, lower Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) scores at 24 months, had more patients with complete/hypertrophic cartilage coverage of the lesion or normal/nearly normal repair tissue signal intensity, and a significantly greater ICRS II score, when compared to patients receiving microfracture alone.
