Summary
A 72-year-old woman with chronic low back pain experienced sustained relief two years after an intradiscal injection of adipose tissue. This minimally microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) injection shows potential for treating degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Regenerative Medicine
- Pain Management
Background:
- Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis is a frequent cause of chronic low back pain and functional decline in older adults.
- Conservative treatments and surgery present limitations for some patients.
- Adipose-derived regenerative cells offer potential therapeutic benefits.
