Can You Inject Fat Into A Knee To Make Arthritis Symptoms Better For A Year? Yes!
*MFAT (microfat) injection for knee osteoarthritis? Yes....the clinical evidence is only growing!*
The best part? This is a way to use adipose tissue in the USA that is compliant with the FDA regulations.
This RCT published 9/5/2024 in Arthroscopy divided knee osteoarthritis patients into a MFAT group, a steroid group, and a normal saline group.
75 patients total followed for one year. The MFAT group was significantly better than the other groups at every time point and out to one year.
The steroid group had max benefit at 2 weeks which quickly returned to baseline.
The two most prominent companies with adipose solutions in the USA right now are Lipogems and JointTechLabs.
