Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma therapy combined with mesenchymal stem cells from autologous adipose tissue in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Objects and methods: 30 patients, 26 female, 4 male, mean age 58.63 ± 11.11, disease duration 5.3 ± 4.6 years, respectively 60 knee joints were diagnosed as degenerative according to American Society of Rheumatology (ACR), stages II - III according to Kellgren and Lawrence. All were injected with autologous platelet-rich plasma mixture extracted by PRP kit, APC 30 PRP PRCEDURE PRAK and mesenchymal  stem cells from autologous abdominal adipose extracted by ADI-25-01 ADIPOSEPRCEDURE PRAK kit with machine Harvest smart stem cell separation of the company TERUMO BCT- USA. Results: After treating 12 months: The pain level through the VAS of the right knee joint decreased from 6.0 ± 1.28 before treatment to 1.9 ± 0.3; VAS score of left knee joint decreased from 6.43±1.19 to 2.25±0.43. Total Lequene score of right knee joint decreased from 16.04±1.57 before treatment to 4.31±1.04; left knee joint decreased from 17.52±1.74 to 5.15±1.48. Total WOMAC score for right knee joint decreased from 55.93±5.56 to 10.37±1.56; left knee joint decreased from 53.97±5.57 to 10.07±1.59. There were 52/60 (86.77%) joints with cartilage thickness change and the patellar cartilage thickness increased from 1.56 ± 0.25mm before treatment to 1.64 ± 0.21mm. Conclusion: The treatment of knee osteoarthritis by platelet-rich plasma combined with mesenchymal stem cells from autologous adipose tissue is effective in reducing pain, improving movement and walking function of patients compared with before treatment; improve articular cartilage thickness articular cartilage thickness on magnetic resonance thereby improving the mobility function of the knee joint.
