Bone marrow-stimulating techniques, like abrasion and microfracturing, have been advocated for over 20 years. Bone marrow is a source of stem cells and progenitor cells that differentiate into a variety of tissues (eg, bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, fat, muscle, nerve). There has also been discussion that bone marrow stem cells have a role in the maintenance and repair of several other tissues. Because of the plasticity exhibited by bone marrow, a number of studies have investigated the benefits of bone marrow used:
- Through microfracturing into a collagen matrix for treatment of osteochondral defects7
- With grafts to treat tibial nonunions
- For tendon graft-to-bone interface in rabbit models at early time points
- For spinal fusion in a rabbit model
- With growth factors for the treatment of large bony defects in animals
- With porous ceramic scaffolds implanted in human femoral defects with positive results
Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) provides a cell suspension that can be readily processed intraoperatively for immediate implantation. BMA is commonly withdrawn from the iliac crest, but it can also be aspirated from the femur and humerus. BMA can be injected directly to a repair site, localizing a specific volume of BMA to support and facilitate healing.
