About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This research protocol evaluate the efficacity of intra-articular injections of autologous microfat associated with a preparation of autologous PRP, in symptomatic, resistant to first-line medical treatment, degenerative or post-traumatic cartilage lesions of the knee.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The primary objective of this study is to show the superiority of intra-articular injection of autologous microfat combined with autologous PRP preparation compared to injection of microfat or PRP used alone, on the KOOS score at 6 months.

The 3 groups in the trial

  • autologous microfat (MG)Treatment being tested

    Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed under local anesthesia during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and a preparation of autologous MG will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

    Treatment: Intra-articular injection of autologous microfat

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)Treatment being tested

    Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed under local anesthesia during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and a preparation of autologous PRP will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

    Treatment: Intra-articular injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma

  • Microfat autologous-Platelet-rich plasma (MG-PRP)Treatment being tested

    Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed for the preparation during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and autologous microfat associated with a preparation of autologous PRP will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

    Treatment: Intra-articular injection of autologous microfat and platelet-rich plasma
