New Study Finds Ultrasound-Guided knee Injections for osteoarthritis to be 95-100% Accurate
A recent study examined the accuracy of ultrasound-guided injections to the inside, outside, and upper portions of the knee joint. Prior studies on cadavers have shown that no matter how experienced the surgeon, they may only have a 55% accuracy rate without using x ray or ultrasound to visualize the joint space. The new study found … Continue reading New Study Finds Ultrasound-Guided knee Injections for osteoarthritis to be 95-100% Accurate

A new study is investigating using hyaluronic acid (HA) and adult stem cells from umbilical cord donors as an adjunct to microfracture surgery, an articular cartilage surgical technique. This team has started their research by enrolling their first patient, who has localized cartilage defect of the knee, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using … Continue reading Adult Stem Cells and Hyaluronic Acid for Knee Cartilage Repair
Continue ReadingPlastics and Stem Cells Regrow Bone and may help prevent amputations
Fracture and bone loss caused by trauma and osteoporosis are a major clinical and socioeconomic problem. Faculties of chemistry and musculoskeletal departments at two universities in the UK joined forces to develop a polymer implant using stem cells. Through their research, they found that their material promoted bone regrowth around the polymer implant, concluding that … Continue reading Plastics and Stem Cells Regrow Bone and may help prevent amputations
Continue ReadingSafety of Cell Therapy with Adult Stem Cells
A new research study group performed a systemic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials regarding the safety of using adult stem cells since the safety profile of these cells is not well known. Meta-analysis of randomized control trials with 321 participants did not detect an association between toxicity, organ system complications, infection, death or malignancy. … Continue reading Safety of Cell Therapy with Adult Stem Cells
