Filter by:The development and implementation of "fast-track" principles in total knee and hip arthroplasty have resulted in early recovery and rehabilitation alongside a reduced length of hospital stay. This without a concomitant increase in morbidity or readmissions for medical or surgical complications and with reduced mortality. However, only little is known about function in the subacute period after arthroplasty, and there is a need for further data on physical and psychological functioning following discharge from hospital.This to ensure, that the positive results from the perioperative setting are carried forward in the subacute phase.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Bone Marrow Concentrate may be successful in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Bone Marrow Concentrate is known to contain a community of cells that has been shown to have "regenerative" properties. This study is designed to evaluate the short-term clinical and x-ray outcomes of injections for hip and knee osteoarthritis. Inclusion Criteria: - Subjects must be scheduled for an autologous bone marrow hip or knee injection - Subjects must have a diagnosis of hip or knee osteoarthritis - Subjects must be between the ages of 18 and 85 - Subjects must be willing and able to sign Informed Consent - Subjects must be willing and able to return for scheduled follow-up evaluations Exclusion Criteria: - Subjects who have had any type of visco-supplementation in the treated joint within the last three months prior to enrollment - Subjects for whom baseline data is not available
