ABSTRACT
Painful osteoarthritis occupies the first place among disabling disorders in old age. The Orthopaedic
Service at the «Arnaldo Milián Castro» University Hospital and the Scientific and Technical Service
of Regenerative Medicine belonging to the Biomedical Research Unit carried out the integral
treatment of 401 patients, between November, 2013 and December, 2014.The evaluation
performed before implantation of platelet growth factors and mononuclear cells showed
encouraging results such as, an improvement in painful manifestations, a decrease in the
consumption of drugs, as well as, a high level of satisfaction. Body mass index was increased after
the implant.
