This trial studies knee tissue to find better ways to diagnose early osteoarthritis. It may help people who need a knee injection for pain relief.
This study uses fat tissue from your own body, processed with a special device, and injects it into the knee to help reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis. It's a minimally invasive treatment that might be an option for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
This study looks at why osteoarthritis happens in the hip and knee by studying tissue samples taken during joint replacement surgery. If you are already scheduled for a first-time hip or knee replacement and have osteoarthritis, you may be able to join.
This study is collecting tissue samples from patients having total knee replacement surgery to better understand how orthopedic materials interact with the body. It may help improve future knee implants and treatments.
This trial compares two injections for knee arthritis: one uses your own fat tissue, the other adds a lubricating gel. Researchers want to see if the combination helps pain and function more than fat tissue alone.
This trial compares using cells from your bone marrow or belly fat to treat knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain and improve function. It's for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
