Bone marrow treatment for early hip bone loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting your own bone marrow into the hip can help heal early-stage osteonecrosis (bone death) before the bone collapses. It is for people who have not had prior hip surgery and do not have certain conditions like sickle cell disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-traumatic osteonecrosis (bone death) in the hip's ball joint
- Your osteonecrosis is at an early stage (stage 1 or 2) without a fracture under the cartilage
- You do not have sickle cell disease, Gaucher disease, or certain other conditions
- You have not had major hip surgery before (minor arthroscopy is okay)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or a vulnerable adult
- You can have an MRI and are willing to follow up after treatment

This study looks for biological signs (biomarkers) that can help identify and understand osteonecrosis of the femoral head—a condition where bone in the hip dies. Researchers hope these signs will improve how doctors diagnose and treat the condition.
This trial tests a new treatment for early-stage hip bone death (avascular necrosis) where a substance called exosomes from stem cells is injected directly into the hip joint to see if it is safe and may help repair the bone.
This study is testing a new way to repair the damaged bone in your hip by using your own bone marrow stem cells. You may be a candidate if you have femoral head necrosis (hip bone death) that did not get better with standard treatments and you are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This trial tests whether injecting bone marrow (cells from your own bone) directly into the hip fracture helps it heal better and reduces the chance of complications. It is for adults who have a broken hip (femoral neck) and can be treated within 24 hours of the injury.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage avascular necrosis (bone death) in the hip. It may help preserve the hip and reduce the need for a hip replacement.
This study tests a treatment for knee arthritis using cells from your own bone marrow. It aims to see if this treatment can relieve pain and improve function in people with arthritis in both knees.
