BMAC for OA knee resulted in significant improvement in the radiological scores compared to the baseline. Medium and high doses of BMAC result in significantly higher radiological scores compared to low-dose BMAC at 1 year. However, the radiological improvement did not translate into functional improvement, irrespective of the dosage administered at 1 year. Further research is necessary on the long-term outcomes to understand and optimize the dosing strategy based on clinico-radiological results.
