Bone marrow injection for hip impingement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where your hip bones rub).
- You have pain in the front of your hip or groin, limited hip movement, and a positive test for impingement.
- Imaging (MRI or MRA) must show a cam-type impingement with an alpha angle greater than 60 degrees.
- You must not have had prior hip surgery, severe arthritis (Tonnis grade 2+), certain hip deformities, autoimmune conditions, or a workers' comp claim.
- You cannot have additional procedures like trochanteric bursectomy or gluteus medius repair during the same surgery.

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 looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
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.
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 trial compares a “bone marrow aspirate concentrate” injection with a corticosteroid (steroid) injection to reduce pain from hip osteoarthritis. It aims to see which treatment works better over time for hip pain and function.
This trial tests a combination of a steroid and lubricant injection into the hip joint plus physical therapy to treat mild hip arthritis or related issues like a labral tear. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
