Cell technologies in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the current state and prospects of cell technologies in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. The material is based on the analysis of clinical trials on this topic submitted to international registry СlinicalTrials.gov. It has been founded 5 clinical trials relevant to the theme. Only one of these trials was completed with the results published. It has been stated that the use of cell technologies for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis is still in the stage
of a pilot clinical experiment. Thus, it can not yet be the subject of any translation into common clinical practice. At the same time, there is a reason to expect in the upcoming years a serious progress in this direction. This is indicated by the fact that, as of March 1, 2020, the СlinicalTrials.gov
registry lists 4 active clinical trials in which the usage of cell technologies in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis is tested. Some of these trials have been already recruiting patients or are ready to begin the recruitment.
