Why is it important?
Intra-articular injection of lipoaspirate may be considered a possible strategy to resolve lesions to the cartilage and osteoarthritis.
Perspectives
Results show promise as a new generation of active injectable scaffolds (made of autologous tissue requiring no preparation steps), which could help clinicians to treat focal cartilage defects, osteochondral defects, and osteoarthritis, using lipoaspirate from the patient to be treated.
