NCT06084637

Brief Summary

This research protocol evaluate the efficacity of intra-articular injections of autologous microfat associated with a preparation of autologous PRP, in symptomatic, resistant to first-line medical treatment, degenerative or post-traumatic cartilage lesions of the knee. The primary objective of this study is to show the superiority of intra-articular injection of autologous microfat combined with autologous PRP preparation compared to injection of microfat or PRP used alone, on the KOOS score at 6 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • KOOS score at 6 months

    KOOS assesses the short- and long-term consequences of knee injuries, as well as the consequences of primary osteoarthritis. It is percentage from 0 to 100. 0 represents extreme problems and 100 represents no problem.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Pain at 1 month

    1 month

  • Pain at 3 months

    3 months

  • Pain at 12 months

    12 months

  • KOOS score at 1 month

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

autologous microfat (MG)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed under local anesthesia during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and a preparation of autologous MG will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

Biological: Intra-articular injection of autologous microfat

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed under local anesthesia during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and a preparation of autologous PRP will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

Biological: Intra-articular injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma

Microfat autologous-Platelet-rich plasma (MG-PRP)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient will be hospitalized in outpatient surgery. A blood sample will be collected and a lipoaspiration will be performed for the preparation during the same operation by the nurses and the surgeon. Then, biological products will be immediately prepared, and autologous microfat associated with a preparation of autologous PRP will be injected intra-articularly by th same surgeon.

Biological: Intra-articular injection of autologous microfat and platelet-rich plasma

Interventions

A preparation of autologous microfat (5mL) will be injected intra-articularly.

autologous microfat (MG)

A preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma (5mL) will be injected intra-articularly.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

A preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma (5mL) and autologous microfat (5mL) will be injected intra-articularly.
