Other related information

At N clinic, focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)has been performed on bone pain caused by BML, which is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis pain, and has shown excellent effects, but the effect has been limited. In addition, intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and autologous protein solution (APS) therapy have been performed for synovitis, which is the cause of pain in the joint cavity, but the effect of these therapy has also been limited. Therefore, a combination of APS therapy and ESWT therapy has been performed in patients with both synovitis and BML, and has shown even better effects. However ESWT alone and the combination of APS therapy and ESWT had a limited therapeutic effect.
It was found that there are so-called refractory BML with osteonecrosis and bone cysts and so-called refractory BML with rupture of the subchondral bone plate in cases where the treatment effect is not good. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the subchondral bone plate, MSC(mesenchymal stromal cell) was injected intraarticular and intraosseous, and ESWT was performed before and after the injection of MSC for patients with knee OA with refractory BML.
