Study Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if culture-expanded stem cells (stem cells obtained from the participant’s own pelvic bone and then grown and purified in a lab) can be used to treat osteoarthritis or other types of cartilage injury in the knees.
Who Can Participate
Participants between 18-60 years of age with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, or 18-50 years with a focal chondral defect in the knee. Participants cannot have had prior knee surgery.
