New treatment option for Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Official title Autologous Bone Marrow Aspirate Treatment for Early-Stage Osteonecrosis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06123481
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating musculoskeletal disease that is characterized by localized death of bone cells and associated cellular elements within the subchondral bone. If it progresses, it results in the collapse of the femoral head (ball part of the hip) giving rise to secondary arthritis.
