Abstract
TREATMENT OF DEGENERATIVE CARTILAGE LESIONS WITH MICRO-FRAGMENTED AUTOLOGOUS ADIPOSE
TISSUE
Osteoarthritis is a widespread pathology, with a prevalence of over 50% of the population, which leads to pain and
functional limitation. At the moment, no surgical technique has been shown to be capable of real regeneration of the
chondral layer. The new regenerative frontier seems to be represented by the self-ability of the Stromal Vascular
Fraction (SVF) to preserve the cellular network, which is essential for cell regeneration. Several micro-fragmented
adipose tissue extraction and processing systems have been refined in the past years and recent literature data show
the biological effectiveness of this tissue, which plays a key role in restoring joint homeostasis, through the modulation
of inflammation and pain. It will be necessary and important to understand whether this injective method can really
be considered a “regenerative” option.
