🦴 Treating the Hip with Your Own Cells!

A revolutionary treatment approach using a patient’s own cells is helping preserve joints and avoid hip replacements!

Our bones are in a constant state of renewal, regenerating to replace worn-out tissue. But what happens when that cycle is disrupted?

That’s the case in Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip—where blood supply to the femur head is interrupted, causing bone tissue death and eventual joint collapse. If untreated, this condition may lead to severe arthritis and even permanent disability.

But thanks to autologous cell therapy, there’s now an advanced solution that eliminates the need for total hip replacement.

🧬 What is AVN of the Hip?

AVN primarily affects the femoral head, but can impact other bones too. The first symptom is often a dull pain in the groin or buttocks, which worsens over time, making walking or standing difficult. Without early intervention, joint mobility is lost.

🧪 OSSGROW™: A Game-Changer in Joint Preservation

Instead of inserting an artificial implant, OSSGROW™ leverages the patient’s own bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) to regenerate dead bone tissue.

The Process:

Bone marrow harvesting at hospital.
Cell culturing at a specialized lab (Regrow).
Re-implantation into the necrotic hip zone.

Once reintroduced, these live osteoblasts promote osteogenesis, enabling three-dimensional bone healing and new blood supply formation—thus preserving the joint naturally.

💡 Why Choose OSSGROW™ Over Traditional Surgery?

✅ Accelerated bone healing
✅ Relief from pain
✅ No implant rejection risks
✅ Stops disease progression
✅ Enables active lifestyle
✅ Avoids complications of artificial hip implants

“I’ve used this technique on over 250 hips with excellent results,” — Dr. Navaladi Shankar, Apollo Hospital

⚠️ When Is Surgery Required?

In mild cases, NSAIDs, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes help. But when AVN affects weight-bearing joints like the hip, surgical intervention becomes essential.
