Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation, under arthroscopy, of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal stem cells, using, with a cell separator, a fresh non-culture expanded Autologous Bone Marrow derived Mesenchymal Stem, mixed and activated with proteins scaffold in patient with Knee cartilage defects and osteoarthritis. Based on extensive preclinical investigations, the technology of using freshly isolated bone marrow mononuclear cells mixed with proteins seems safe and most effective for a one-step correction of cartilage defect and restoration of the osteochondral complex, because the same mixture can generate cartilage in the vasculature-free knee joint, and bone in the environment of bone defects.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Active patients (30 to 75 years)
- A localized osteochondral defect of both condyle and/or tibia grade 4 (ICRS classification)
- with cartilage on the tibial surface no more than grade 3-4, of size \< 3-4 cm2, with 3/4 of meniscus present.
- Stable knee ; previous ligament reconstruction, if stable
- A defect that is 1 - 4 cm2 or more, up to 6 cm2, located on the femoral condyle and /or less of 4 cm2 for tibial plate, and IKS score \<75.
- Kissing lesions admitted
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign consent form
You may not qualify if:
- Patients younger than 30 years and older than 75 years
- Diffuse and advanced articular cartilage degeneration of the joint
- Existing infection in or around the joint \& lesions of infectious or oncologic etiology.
- Debilitated patients.
- Immunocompromised patients.
- Patients with autoimmune disorders \& systemic inflammatory disease.
- Preoperative poor neurological or vascular status of the affected limb.
- Specific contraindications include the use of tobacco and medications that may impair cell proliferation, such as NSAIDs and immunosuppressive drugs. Patients must be nicotine-free (stop smoking) prior to the procedure, as studies have shown that the oxidative effect of smoking impairs cell function and subsequent healing.
