Bone Marrow Concentrate Injection for AVN of femoral head

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) Injection for AVN of the Femoral Head

Advanced Joint Preservation Treatment by Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a progressive condition caused by disrupted blood supply to the bone, leading to the gradual collapse of the hip joint. If left untreated, AVN can result in severe pain, joint dysfunction, and ultimately the need for total hip replacement.

Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar offers a cutting-edge, joint-preserving treatment for early-stage AVN — Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) Injection — aimed at regenerating bone, relieving pain, and delaying or avoiding surgery.

What is Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)?

Bone Marrow Concentrate is a regenerative therapy that uses the patient’s own bone marrow, rich in mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors, to promote healing and regeneration of bone tissue. The bone marrow is typically aspirated from the pelvic bone, processed to concentrate the healing cells, and then precisely injected into the necrotic area of the femoral head.

Ideal Candidates

BMC injection is best suited for patients with:

• Early-stage AVN (Ficat stage I or II)
• Persistent hip pain with no significant collapse of the femoral head
• Conditions such as steroid-induced AVN, alcohol-related AVN, or idiopathic causes
• A desire to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery

Procedure Overview

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, often as a day-care or short-stay admission. After bone marrow aspiration and concentration, the injection is delivered under imaging guidance (C-arm or fluoroscopy) directly into the femoral head. Patients are typically advised partial weight-bearing for a few weeks post-procedure to support healing.

Benefits of BMC for AVN

• Minimally invasive and autologous (uses your own cells)
• Helps restore bone vitality and structure
• Reduces pain and improves mobility
• Delays or avoids hip replacement surgery
• Faster recovery and fewer complications compared to open surgery
