Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Autologous bone marrow concentrate
Placebo
Subjects with symptomatic mild to moderate bilateral knee osteoarthritis will be enrolled in this study. Bone marrow will be aspirated from the patient's iliac crests and the cellular rich portion will be concentrated. Randomly, one knee will be injected with the autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate. The contralateral knee will be injected with only sterile saline for placebo.
