OSSGROW for AVN femoral head

Regenerative Bone Cell Therapy by Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a serious condition where the blood supply to the head of the thigh bone is reduced or cut off, leading to bone death, joint pain, and eventual collapse of the hip joint. Left untreated, AVN can lead to early arthritis and the need for total hip replacement.

Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar offers OSSGROW, a revolutionary cell-based therapy that regenerates living bone using the patient’s own cells — offering a biological alternative to hip replacement, especially in early stages of AVN.

What is OSSGROW?

OSSGROW is India’s first and only autologous bone cell therapy, developed for the treatment of AVN. It involves harvesting bone marrow from the patient, isolating bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) in a lab, and then re-implanting millions of these cultured cells into the AVN site to regenerate lost bone tissue and restore structural integrity of the femoral head.

Indications for OSSGROW Therapy

• Early to mid-stage AVN (Ficat-Arlet Stage I or II)
• Non-traumatic AVN caused by steroid use, alcohol, or unknown reasons
• Patients who wish to avoid or delay total hip replacement
• Young, active individuals needing joint-preserving options

Benefits of OSSGROW

• Regenerates healthy bone using your own osteoblasts
• Minimally invasive and biologically safe
• Delays or avoids the need for total hip replacement
• Reduced risk of disease progression
• Fast recovery with low surgical morbidity

Procedure Overview

• Performed under local or general anaesthesia
• Bone marrow aspirated from the iliac crest (hip bone)
• Osteoblasts cultured and expanded over 4–6 weeks in a GMP-certified lab
• Cells re-implanted into the AVN site using minimally invasive techniques
• Rehabilitation and follow-up care planned to promote healing

Why Choose Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar?

• Expert in hip preservation and regenerative orthopaedics
• Experience with advanced cell-based therapies like OSSGROW
• Emphasis on joint-saving approaches in younger patients
• Personalized care and rehabilitation support throughout recovery

If you’re diagnosed with early AVN of the hip, OSSGROW offers a chance to heal naturally without undergoing joint replacement.
