Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) vs Corticosteroid Injection
Sponsor:

Rush University Medical Center

Brief Summary:

Prospective single-masked (study participant will be masked), randomized controlled trial to examine the influence of BMAC on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.

Condition or disease

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Intervention/treatment

Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)

Corticosteroid injections

Crossover Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)

Phase

NA

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of BMAC on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis and compare that to patients receiving corticosteroid injections with six-month follow-up. All patients who sign the consent form will be enrolled in the study and randomized to one of the two treatment arms. This study will aim to recruit and enroll a total of 100 patients (50 per group). Treatment arms include BMAC injections (ARM1) and corticosteroid injections (ARM 2). Patients in the corticosteroid injection group (ARM 2) will receive a sham incision. Follow-up will be up to six months (12-months if crossover (ARM 3)).
