Traditional treatments focus on symptom management without addressing the underlying disease progression, leading to a growing interest in regenerative medicine approaches. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), rich in mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors, has shown potential for cartilage repair and symptom relief in KOA. Despite promising outcomes, the optimal BMAC dosage for knee OA treatment remains undetermined. This study aims to evaluate the radiological outcomes of varying BMAC dosages in knee OA treatment.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>This prospective controlled dose-escalation study involved 75 patients with early-stage knee OA, categorized into three groups based on BMAC dosage administered 10x10<sup>6</sup> cells (low-dose group), 50 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells (medium-dose group), or 100x10<sup>6</sup> cells (high-dose group). All the patients underwent a single intra-articular injection of BMAC and were monitored over a year. The primary outcomes include magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART 2.0) score to assess the cartilage.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>We noted significant improvement in the overall MOCART score (<i>p</i> = 0.027) and subchondral change sub-score (<i>p</i> = 0.048) and defect filling sub-score (<i>p</i> = 0.025) in the medium- and high-dose cohorts compared to the low-dose cohort at 1 year follow-up. Although we noted positive correlation between the clinical and radiological outcome (<i>r</i> = 0.43), we did not find any significant different in the clinical outcome between the treatment groups.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusion</h3><p>BMAC for OA knee resulted in significant improvement in the radiological scores compared to the baseline. Medium and high doses of BMAC result in significantly higher radiological scores compared to low-dose BMAC at 1 year. However, the radiological improvement did not translate into functional improvement, irrespective of the dosage administered at 1 year. Further research is necessary on the long-term outcomes to understand and optimize the dosing strategy based on clinico-radiological results.</p>","PeriodicalId":13338,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Orthopaedics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141516982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
