Abstract

The umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) has been shown to improve the viability of degenerated chondrocytes in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in cellular level. Additional somatotropin injection also shown clinical improvement in patients. The present trial is conducted to assess the efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) in comparison to somatotropin and hyaluronic acid (HA) injection to treat and slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis.
