Effects of PRP, PPP, and BMAC on recovery after hip surgery for labral issues

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-poor plasma (PPP), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) on functional recovery following hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral pathologies. The study aims to determine whether these treatments can enhance functional outcomes and reduce arthritic symptoms post-surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the treatment or a control, with outcomes measured through validated functional assessments. The trial is designed to provide insights into optimizing surgical management of labral injuries.
