According to doctors, this treatment will improve lubrication in the joint and reduce pain. A small amount of fat is removed from the patient's own body, and the operation will be carried out under local anesthesia. The resulting oil is then introduced into the joint cavity. The test results will be presented in December.
 
Osteoarthritis is caused by wear of smooth cartilage that makes movement difficult and leads to inflammation, pain and swelling. Treatment options for this condition are limited and tend to focus on relieving pain and improving joint mobility. In severe cases, surgery may be performed joint replacement.
 
Experts note that the joints, as well as automotive transmission, work best when they have a good level of lubrication. Doctors believe that a simple injection of fat will improve the condition of patients with chronic osteoarthritis, positively affecting the mobility of joints.
