Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating condition that predominantly affects young individuals, resulting in disability and involving significant healthcare costs. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective therapeutic strategy to treat this debilitating disease. In this context, autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (auto-BM-MSCs) have emerged as a promising approach for treating ONFH. In this case report, we applied this therapy to a patient with ONFH and evaluated both its safety and therapeutic benefits. The treatment consisted of the administration of a single dose of 4×107 ex vivo-expanded auto-BM-MSCs combined with biomolecules derived from platelet-rich plasma. These therapeutic agents were injected into the necrotic zone after accessing it through the technique of multiple small drillings. Subsequently, the progression of ONFH was assessed after 18 months of the auto-BM-MSC administration. Radiographic evaluation showed that the initial femoral head flattening persisted, but no further progression or coxofemoral arthritic changes were observed. Nevertheless, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a significant improvement in the affected femoral head's area, resulting in a Kerboull angle of 80°, without evidence of flattening or a notable collapse compared to the preoperative condition. Furthermore, the patient exhibited a remarkable functional improvement, as evidenced by a modified Harris hip score of 90 points. The absence of any additional surgery reinforces the positive outcomes achieved through this therapeutic intervention. In conclusion, our case study provides evidence for using the ex vivo-expanded auto-BM-MSCs in combination with platelet-rich plasma-derived biomolecules as a viable and safe treatment for ONFH. However, further research and clinical trials are necessary to validate these promising findings.
