Arthroscopic Treatment of Acetabular Labral Lesions: Intrarticular Injection of Bone Marrow vs Hip Arthroscopy Alone
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: FemoroAcetabular Impingement
In brief
The BoneMarrowHip study is a single-blind, randomized, single-center trial. Through this study, the clinical results of patients treated during hip arthroscopy surgery with autologous bone marrow infiltration taken from the ipsilateral iliac crest will be evaluated and compared, comparing the outcomes with a group of patients undergoing the same surgical treatment but without intra-articular infiltration. All selected patients have acetabular labral tears diagnosed by MRI imaging. In addition, the study will evaluate the safety of the treatment by documenting any adverse events.
