Fat tissue study in knee osteoarthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at fat tissue around the knee and inside the thigh muscle in people having knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. It may help researchers understand how fat tissue affects the knee joint.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 85 years old
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis
- You must be scheduled for total knee replacement surgery

This study tests whether a special injection of fat cells (MFAT) mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) works better than either treatment alone for knee arthritis. It's for people with moderate to severe knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests a new way to treat knee osteoarthritis using a patient's own fat tissue. The fat is processed with a special device and then injected into the knee to see if it helps reduce pain and improve joint function.
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 looks at tissue and blood samples from people having knee replacement surgery to understand how knee arthritis works and how materials used in surgery interact with the body. It may help doctors develop better treatments for knee arthritis.
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 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.
