Description
Joo Hyung Han and co-authors weigh marrow concentrate shots for worn knees in a 2024 review. Knee osteoarthritis burdens millions, and standard shots give only modest relief. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate packs healing cells and signals into one injection.
The review gathers randomized trials, the strongest evidence tier, from four databases. Marrow shots are compared against steroid and hyaluronic acid rivals. Pain scores and knee function subscales supply the common yardsticks. Trial quality is graded so weak studies cannot sway the verdict. Patients and surgeons gain a cleaner read on a pricey new option.
