Repairing hip bone damage with your own stem cells
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 65 years old.
- You have femoral head necrosis (bone death in the hip joint) that is not caused by an injury.
- Your hip still hurts even after trying other treatments (like pain relievers or physical therapy) for at least 2 weeks.
- You can walk more than 50 meters without crutches or a walking stick.
- You have not had any major hip or lower limb surgery, and you are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This study tests a specific hip implant (the Medacta SMS stem) for people needing a total hip replacement. It aims to see how well the implant works for patients with hip pain or disability from arthritis, injury, or other hip conditions.
This trial tests whether using a patient's own bone marrow stem cells can help repair large gaps in the shin or arm bones that haven't healed on their own. The stem cells are grown in a lab to create new bone tissue, which may avoid the need for metal implants or donated bone.
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 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.
This study tests a new treatment using stem cell exosomes injected into the hip joint for people with early-stage non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (a condition where bone tissue in the hip dies due to poor blood supply, not caused by injury). The goal is to see if it is safe and may help improve hip function and pain.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own bone marrow cells to grow a piece of tissue to repair damaged knee cartilage. It's for people with a single, medium-sized cartilage injury on the thigh bone part of the knee joint that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
