What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effect of applying a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-poor plasma (PPP), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) on functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral pathologies. The study aims to determine whether this application improves patient-reported outcomes and reduces arthritic burden in patients undergoing surgery for labral tears and cartilage damage. This randomized controlled trial offers level I evidence to compare standard hip arthroscopy with and without PRP/PPP/BMAC application. Participants will undergo hip arthroscopy under general anesthesia, where the surgeon will assess damage to the labrum and cartilage. Patients with minimal damage will receive standard care without PRP/PPP/BMAC and form a control group, while those with more significant damage will be randomized to either receive PRP/PPP/BMAC application or no additional treatment. Bone marrow will be aspirated from the ilium through arthroscopic portals during surgery for those in the treatment group. Participants will be blinded to their treatment allocation. Throughout the study, participants will complete various patient-reported outcome measures, including pain assessments and hip function scores, before surgery and at intervals up to 24 months and beyond. The study will also track physical exams, imaging results, and any subsequent surgeries. Follow-up will continue for up to 20 years postoperatively, with surveys collected via email or phone to monitor long-term outcomes and safety.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Surgery and Immediate Post-operative Care

Duration - 1 day

Participants undergo hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral pathologies. Those randomized to the treatment group receive application of platelet-rich plasma, platelet-poor plasma, and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) during surgery. Bone marrow is aspirated through arthroscopic portals as part of the procedure. Participants are blinded to their treatment allocation.

1 surgical visit (in-person)

Post-operative Follow-up

Duration - Up to 24 months and beyond

Participants complete patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessments to track their functional progress and recovery following surgery.

Visits at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-surgery
