The Durability and Efficacy of Cryopreserved Human Umbilical Cord Tissue Allograft for the Supplementation of Cartilage Defects Associated with the Sacroiliac Joint: A Case Series

This Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective observational protocol aims to report the safety and efficacy of birth tissue allografts applied in 38 patients with treatment-resistant sacroiliac (SI) joint pain. The research methodology consisted an recording Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Western Ontario McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), which measure pain, stiffness, physical function. No adverse events or reactions were observed patients. Statistically significant improvements NPRS WOMAC scores affected SI reported after 90 days. data suggests that Wharton’s jelly allograft applications are safe, minimally invasive, efficacious. They may present alternative surgery for who fail conservative procedural management pain originating from chondral cartilage degeneration joint.
