Summary
A new generation of "minimally manipulated" regenerative treatments are being offered at
clinics across the country, but there is no strong efficacy data to support their use. The
purpose of this study is to estimate the effect size of the treatment by comparing the
efficacy of autologous fat to the current standard of care treatment, hyaluronic acid (HA).
As a secondary aim, we will test for preliminary evidence of efficacy of autologous fat vs.
HA and determine how these treatments effect the biochemical environment of the knee by
comparing pre-injection and post-injection synovial fluid biomarker profiles.
