Overview

Regeneration of articular cartilage remains a major challenge in orthopaedics. Cell-based therapies (with chondrocyte and MSCs – mesenchymal stem cells) to augment cartilage repair have received considerable interest during recent years. Adipose MSCs have been used in the Czech Republic for osteoarthritis therapy, despite not being recommended by the Czech Orthopaedic Association. This lecture reviews the studies and their level of evidence for orthopaedic routine therapy of osteoarthritis.

Key words:
mesenchymal stem cells – osteoarthritis
