Impact of Bone-Marrow Aspirate Injections in Knee Arthroscopy

Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) is being investigated as an augmentation to arthroscopic debridement surgery of the knee to treat conditions such as meniscal injuries, chondral defects, and low-grade osteoarthritis.

Arthroscopic debridement surgery of the knee is performed to treat conditions such as meniscal injuries, chondral defects, and low-grade osteoarthritis.

Patients in the control arm of the study will receive arthroscopic debridement surgery along with a saline injection. This will be compared to the experimental arm, in which patients will receive arthroscopic debridement surgery along with a bone marrow aspirate injection.
