Comparing two methods for collecting bone marrow in hip surgery

Comparison of the Constituents of Bone Marrow Aspirate and Autologous Protein Solution Collected With a Traditional and a Novel System

NA · Ohio State University · NCT06388993

This study is testing a new way to collect bone marrow during hip surgery to see if it works better than the standard method for helping patients with bone loss heal.

What this trial studies

This study involves six patients with bone loss in the hip who will undergo minimally invasive repair. Participants will have bone marrow collected from both the surgical and non-surgical hips using two different systems: the standard Zimmer Biomet Biocue system and the novel Marrow Cellutions system™. The collected bone marrow will be processed to concentrate the cells and molecules, with the concentrated liquid from the surgical hip being delivered to promote healing. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the new collection method compared to the traditional approach.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 18 to 50 who are undergoing hip arthroscopy for subchondral bone cysts or avascular necrosis.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of hematologic issues, diabetes, or previous bone marrow aspirate may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance healing outcomes for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies have shown promise in improving outcomes with bone marrow interventions.
