Regenerative therapy options for knee osteoarthritis with MFAT

In the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, Dr. Markus Klingenberg uses modern, image-guided injection techniques with autologous biological substances such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or processed fatty tissue.

In a demonstration, he shows how the patient is optimally positioned, any joint fluid is first assessed and then a sterile, low-contact procedure is used. With the help of ultrasound guidance, the injection needle can be positioned specifically in the area of the Hoffa fat body. This precise control is crucial, as conventional injections without imaging often do not reach the desired target area.

Research results from his working group indicate that this regenerative therapy can reduce pain and improve the mobility of the knee over a period of up to two years.
