Stem Cell Treatment for Hip Joint
14th October 2021
The hip is a stable joint that can endure a large amount of daily strain. A healthy hip joint helps patients to walk, jump, run & perform other activities effortlessly. If the hip joint gets injured due to overuse, or in some cases, due to a fall or sports injuries, then performing routine activities can become difficult. However, an effective solution to this is stem cell treatment for the hip.
Anatomy of the Hip:

Fig.1. Anatomy of the hip
A hip, one of the most flexible joints, is a ball-and-socket joint that bears the body weight and provides a wide range of mobility. It is surrounded by several tough ligaments & muscles, which help in preventing joint dislocation. The ball is the rounded head of the femur, and the socket or acetabulum is the cup-like structure.
What Conditions Can be Treated with Stem Cell Treatment for Hip?
When physical therapy, ice & rest are not impactful in providing comfort to conditions such as Arthritis, Osteonecrosis, Fractures, Tendon Injuries & Ligament Injuries, stem cell treatment for the hip can help in restoring the well-being by tissue regeneration.
What is AVN? Why does it happen mostly at the hip joint?
The hip joint receives maximum blood supply. The disruption of blood supply can cause hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in bone tissue leading to the death of bone in the hip joint. This bone death is called necrosis. Therefore, AVASCULAR NECROSIS is a condition of bone death in a patient's hip joint due to lack of blood supply to the hip.
What are its symptoms?
The early stages of Avascular Necrosis usually do not have any symptoms. However, it gets painful as the disease gets worse. It even starts hurting when some pressure is applied to the affected bone. And then pain remains constant. If the bone & surrounding joint collapse, the pain gets severe and prevents the patient from using the joints. The progression of the disease from the initial stage to the last can take several months to over a year.

How is a Stem Cell Treatment for Hip Performed?
Stem cell treatment for the hip is performed by extracting bone marrow, culturing the bone cell, and implanting cultured bone cells. This stops the progression of AVN, promotes the formation of new & healthy bone, and preserves the original hip joint.
OSSGROW ® Bone Cell Therapy: Stem Cell Treatment for Hip AVN
AVN requires surgical intervention. There are no medications available for AVN, so few doctors prescribe bisphosphonates, which only buy some time and do not cure the disease. OSSGROW, a bone cell therapy from Regrow Biosciences, is the world's only approved therapy to treat AVN. OSSGROW has victoriously completed phase 3 clinical trials in India, and the product received approval in 2017 from the Indian FDA / DCGI for commercial use. Ossgrow is also recognized by USFDA and European medicine agencies as a potential treatment for AVN. Ossgrow for AVN is available across 200 hospitals and 45 cities in India. It is insurance approved also. Ossgrow is available for purchase through the Government e-marketplace (GEM) for govt hospitals so patients will receive free treatment.
OSSGROW® is the permanent & safe treatment for AVN because it can halt the progression of AVN and is also effective in restoring mobility. The therapeutic tool used by Ossgrow to naturally cure Avascular Necrosis (AVN) includes the use of patients' own cells, also known as autologous. Ossgrow helps patients in eliminating the need for highly invasive total hip replacement surgery. And fortunately & thankfully, the patient can resume a normal, active, & pain-free life.
