Abstract

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease leading to increased risk of fragility fractures. These fractures lead to significant patient morbidity, increased mortality and substantial health and social care costs. The use of stem cells for cell-based therapies is currently an exciting, promising and growing area for disease treatment and regenerative medicine. However, the attitudes of participants towards the use of stem cells for regenerative medicine applications, particularly for therapeutic interventions amongst the older population, have not been well explored. This study explored patient perceptions of a proposed new treatment utilising a novel orthobiologic stem cell therapy. An online questionnaire for participants affected by
