Osteoarthritis Knees Both

The HYALOFAT study is a randomized controlled double-blind trial with parallel treatment arms and 1:1 allocation. By means of a double-blind randomized controlled trial in patients with symptomatic bilateral OA of the knees, the clinical outcomes of autologous microfragmented adipose tissue injection associated with hyaluronic acid in one knee vs autologous microfragmented adipose tissue injection in the contralateral knee will be evaluated and compared. Each patient will then serve as his or her own control and not be informed of the knee assigned to the treatment group. In addition, it will be the aim of the study to evaluate the safety of the combined treatment by documenting any adverse events.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PRP injection therapy in the repair of osteoarthritis and periarticular soft tissue injury through a single-center, exploratory clinical study, and to provide a more reliable basis for the treatment of joint injury.

Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which could lead to an improvement in post-surgical outcomes and satisfaction with the procedure. The aim of this study is to compare two types of implant designs (medial pivot and single radius) in a total knee replacement using clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes, and overall function assessed by a specialized gait laboratory.
