A Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Parallel Study to Examine the Effect of Lipogems Processed Microfragmented Adipose Tissue in Comparison to Corticosteroid for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

Orthopedics Immunology Arthritis Adult Subjects

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a single autologous, intra-articular injection of MFat versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of pain and function associated with K/L grade 2/3 knee Osteoarthritis. Participants will receive an injection of MFat or a corticosteroid.

Correlation between MRI and Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Lower Limb Bone Stress Injuries

Orthopedics Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a correlation between MRI and ultrasound for the diagnosis of lower limb stress injuries. Patients that are seen at the University of Iowa Sports Medicine Center with a suspected diagnosis of a lower limb stress injury will be recruited. These patients will undergo a diagnostic ultrasound of the affected region prior to undergoing an MRI of that region. Then, the ultrasound findings will be compared to the MRI findings to determine if a correlation exists.
