Abstract:

Mesenchymal stem cell implantation is thought to have a role in the treatment of degenerative osteoarthritis, and is an area of active research. However, large scale human data in clinical trials is lacking, and no consensus currently exists as to the optimal harvesting, application, and adjunct techniques for the use of mesenchymal stem cells. This case study examines one patient who under the direction of a US physician-underwent the harvesting of adipose tissue and delayed injection into multiple sites, resulting in a protracted adverse outcome. The event brings to light clinical and ethical considerations concerning patient education of alternative therapies available in the community, and the role of emerging treatments in regenerative medicine.
