Concentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate in Revision ACL Reconstruction
Recruiting now · Phase 4 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis of Knee, Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate, ACL Injury
In brief
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to look into the efficacy of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) in improving post traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) symptoms in patients undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are whether clinical outcomes, such as pain, are improved in patients who get cBMA with surgery, if there is a change in circulating markers of inflammation and what part of the cellular and molecular composition of cBMA may explain its effects.
