In this episode, our host Dr. Trevor Turner, RMSK interviews Dr. Chris Rogers and Dr. Mary Ambach (https://sdomg.com/), Interventional Pain specialists in San Diego, CA about the use of fat-derived stem cells to treat orthopedic disease with a focus on their ongoing clinical trial for knee osteoarthritis.
In this episode, we discuss key concepts such as: how effective are these injections, and what should be treated with them? Are they safe? How common are complications from liposuction, and how painful is it? How is this changing the way we obtain stem cells, and how is it different from cells from the bone marrow? What are future directions of the field?
