Clinical results of autologous fat transfer for basal thumb arthritis with a minimum of three years’ follow-up
The data show that autologous fat transfer has a longer-lasting effect in two-thirds of re-examined patients. If patients had an initial positive response, the pain-reducing effect lasted for at least three years. Therefore, this minimally invasive approach can offer a valuable treatment alternative for basal thumb OA.
