Abstract

 Osteoarthritis causes a heavy disease burden globally and treatments are continually evolving. We introduced an autologous cell therapy protocol in 2006 that has continued to demonstrate promise clinically and on advanced imaging studies. In this report, we detail applicable scientific concepts, our surgical technique and present a case report for illustration.

Keywords: Osteoarthritis; Subchondral Bone; Nanoplastytm and Mechanical Axis Deviation Protocol (NAMAD®)
