This study was conducted as a systematic study by searching journal literature through the Google Scholar application with the keyword intra articular injection mesenchymal stem cells on knee osteoarthritis in the last 5 years, using a prism diagram classification system in article selection. The results of the selection found 41 articles that were included in the inclusion criteria. The results of the study found that there have been many studies of intra-articular injection therapy of mesenchymal stem cells from various sources.
