This study investigated specific features of a person’s health that could be used to predict how successful a single knee jont injection of bone marrow aspirate concentrate might be for treatment of knee osteorarthritis.
A combination of three features were found to be good predictors of the sucess of a bone marrow aspirate concentrate injection: <7/10 pain intensity, previous knee surgery, and knee osteoarthritis affecting a maximum 2 out of 3 compartments of the knee.
This simple clinical decision rule can allow clinicians to select people for a knee bone marrow aspirate concentrate injection who are likely to respond and avoid injecting people that are unlikely to respond, thus reducing waste of health care resources and saving costs
