Effect of stem cell injections on osteoarthritis-related structural outcomes - a systematic review.

CONCLUSION: This systematic review of early phase clinical trials showed consistent evidence for a beneficial effect of intra-articular MSC injections on articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Due to the heterogeneity of MSCs, modest sample sizes, methodological limitations, and potential for publication bias, further work is needed before this therapy is recommended in the management of osteoarthritis.
