Bone marrow aspirate concentrate augmentation of the bone-patellar tendon-bone allograft during ACL reconstruction may yield greater signal intensity scores on MRI at 3 months postoperatively, according to published results.
Advances in Stem Cell Therapies for Rotator Cuff Injuries
Source: frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Rotator cuff injury is a common upper extremity musculoskeletal disease that may lead to persistent pain and functional impairment. Despite the clinical outcomes of the surgical procedures being satisfactory, the repair of the rotator cuff remains problematic, such as through failure of healing, adhesion formation, and fatty infiltration. Stem cells have high proliferation, strong paracrine action, and multiple differentiation potential, which promote tendon remodeling and fibrocartilage formation and increase biomechanical strength.
