Pascual-Garrido C, et al. Treatment of chronic patellar tendinopathy with autologous bone marrow stem cells: a 5-year-followup, Stem Cells Int. 2012;2012:953510. doi: 10.1155/2012/953510. Epub 2011 Dec 18. Only 8 patients; statistically significant improvements in clinical scores; 7 out of 8 patients thought procedure excellent and would do it on their other knee if needed

Gobbi A, One-Step Cartilage Repair with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrated Cells and Collagen Matrix in Full-Thickness Knee Cartilage Lesions. Results at 2-Year Follow-up. Patients showed significant improvements. MRI showed tissue regrowth in all patients.  No adverse reactions or post-operative complications noted.

Hendrich C et al, Safety of autologous bone marrow aspiration concentrate transplantation: initial experiences in 101 patients, Orthop Rev (Pavia). 2009 Oct 10;1(2):e32. doi: 10.4081/or.2009.e32 101 patients with bone healing disturbances; 2 needed further surgeries; all resolved with no complications.

Marcus Jäger, Bone Marrow Concentrate: A Novel Strategy for Bone Defect Treatment, Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2009, 4, 34-43. Transplantation of Bone Marrow. Aspirate was able to facilitate healing of volumetric bone loss. All patients showed bone healing and/or sufficient new bone formation.

Fortier L, Concentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate Improves Full-Thickness Cartilage Repair Compared with Microfracture in the Equine Model, 2010 Journal Of Bone and joint Surgery. Bone Marrow Concentrate can result in healing of acute full-thickness cartilage defects superior to microfracture alone in an equine model. MRIs showed increased fill of defects and improved integration of repair tissue into surrounding normal cartilage.
