Stem-cell injection during hip arthroscopy for labral tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether using BMAC (a substance made from a person’s own bone marrow) during hip arthroscopy helps people with labral tears caused by hip impingement. It aims to improve hip pain and function by combining the injection with the standard surgical repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have hip symptoms that fit a labral tear (like catching, clicking, popping, or episodic hip pain, especially with sitting or hip movement)
- Your symptoms are not caused by another hip problem such as infection, certain bone injuries, or low-back pain instead of hip pain
- You can get and provide hip X-rays and an MRI (and/or MR arthrogram) showing a labral tear
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent willingly
- You are not pregnant, and you are able to participate in the study without needing pregnancy-related protection

This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a blood concentrate), platelet-poor plasma, or bone marrow concentrate during hip surgery helps people with a torn labrum recover better. If you need hip arthroscopy and haven't had prior hip surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
This trial compares two treatments for a torn labrum (the cartilage ring in your hip socket). One group gets standard arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing.
This trial tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for people with femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub). It compares outcomes to standard care alone.
This trial tests if adding a bone marrow injection to standard knee arthroscopy helps your knee heal better. It is for people with a torn meniscus or damaged cartilage who have healthy knee joints without arthritis.
This trial studies injecting “bone marrow aspirate concentrate” (BMAC) into the knee to help relieve pain from severe knee osteoarthritis. It’s for people who have strong signs of advanced arthritis on X-ray and still have ongoing pain despite usual treatments, before a planned knee procedure.
