Core Tip Optimizing delivery routes for peripheral blood-derived mesenchymal stromal cells is key to enhancing regenerative outcomes in early-grade knee osteoarthritis. This trial compares intra-articular, subchondral, and combined injection techniques using clinical scores and advanced imaging over 12 months. The goal is to establish minimally invasive, evidence-based protocols that improve function, reduce pain, and delay progression - aligned with the Indian healthcare context and regenerative medicine advancements.
