Intraoperative Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Injections: Evaluating Outcomes in a Randomized Controlled Trial
80 participantsStarted 2025-02
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to see if bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) used with your hip arthroscopy surgery is a better treatment than just having surgery alone for treatment of labral tears in your hip.
BMAC is an injection, where your doctor will insert a needle into your hip and harvest the bone marrow that is located inside of your bones. This will be performed under anesthesia during your hip arthroscopy surgery and will be injected during the procedure. BMAC is an FDA approved procedure and has had many research articles produced from it.
Researchers will compare patients who received BMAC during their surgery to those who have not to determine if the injection with surgery is better than surgery alone.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement
* Subjects will require a clinical diagnosis of intra-articular pathology consisting of anterior hip and/or groin pain with restricted hip motion and positive impingement testing.
* Study inclusion also requires the radiographic hallmarks of Cam type femoroacetabular impingement with an alpha angle greater than 60 degrees on Dunn lateral views and advanced imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) confirming chondrolabral pathology.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who have had prior hip arthroscopy or hip surgery, Tonnis grade II or higher radiographic osteoarthritis, congenital hip deformities including Legg-Calve-Perthes or Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, rheumatologic conditions, or workers compensation claims.
* Patients undergoing additional arthroscopic procedures such as trochanteric bursectomy or gluteus medius repair will also be excluded.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
