Radiological analysis shows that IMRCs enhance meniscus repair
meniscus injury
The efficacy of IMRCs was assessed using MRI according to the Stoller’s classification standard of meniscus injury.Clinical trial shows efficacy outcomes of IMRCs in MRI analysis and knee function scores after IMRCs injection. Data from meniscus MRI images at week 1, 4, 8, 12 and 48 after IMRCs injection demonstrated that 6 (33.33%), 10 (55.56%), 11 (61.11%), 15 (83.33%) and 14 (81.25%) had healed meniscus. The meniscus repair rate at week 12 was significantly higher than that at week 1 (33.33% vs. 83.33%, Meniscal volume was calculated by quantitative MRI evaluation using 3D Slicer software. Overall, meniscus volume improved after intra-articular injection of IMRCs in all three groups, which increased from 4288 mm
