Hip surgery with or without bone marrow injection for labral tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat a torn labrum in the hip: one group gets standard hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 55 years old.
- An MRI must show a tear in the labrum, the cartilage rim that cushions your hip joint.
- Your hip should not have severe arthritis (advanced joint wear) on X-ray.
- You must be willing and able to follow a rehabilitation program and come to follow-up visits.
- You cannot have certain inflammatory conditions (like rheumatoid arthritis) or active infections.
- You cannot have had hip surgery in the past year or hip injections in the past 6 months.

This study tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves outcomes for people with hip impingement. The injection may help your hip heal better after surgery.
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 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.
This trial compares two common surgical fixes for hip impingement: repairing the torn cartilage (labrum) or rebuilding it using a piece of tissue. If you've tried non-surgical treatments without relief, this study could help find the best option for your pain and function.
