Modified Mesenchymal stem cell, platelet-rich plasma, and hyaluronic acid intervention in early stage osteoarthritis: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of arthroscopic-guided intra-articular approaches
Source: PubMed
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold promise for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment, potentially enhanced by combining them with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA). This study aimed to assess the synergy of MSCs, PRP, and varying HA doses, and determine optimal MSC sources to treat early-stage OA in the perspective of Lysholm score, VAS Score, KSS score, and WOMAC score.
