Finding biomarkers for femoral head bone death
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have a history of hip trauma or injury
- You do not have hip-related fractures or dislocations from trauma
- You are able to complete questionnaires and understand the study
- You can provide informed consent and agree to participate

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 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 study looks for early signs of osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear) in your blood or other samples. Understanding these markers may help doctors detect and treat osteoarthritis sooner.
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 collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study looks at how bone health and muscle strength (“osteosarcopenia” — loss of both bone and muscle) change after a hip fracture in older adults. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better support recovery after hip surgery.
