Bone marrow injection vs standard hip surgery for labral tear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- Your hip X-ray shows no severe arthritis or bone damage
- An MRI suggests you have a torn labrum (cartilage ring in your hip)
- You are able to follow a rehab program and come for follow-up visits
- You have no serious illnesses like cancer, inflammatory arthritis, HIV, hepatitis, or uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid problems
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
- You have not had a hip injection in the last 6 months or hip surgery in the last year

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 compares using cells from your bone marrow or belly fat to treat knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain and improve function. It's for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
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 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.
