PURPOSE: Despite multiple possible treatments, the risk of collapse remains the main problem of osteonecrosis. Heart failure (HF). In an effort to address the reverse this issue, curative strategies with regenerative medicine are increasingly being considered. The aim of this technology is to halt or reverse progression of the disease to collapse. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The pioneering report by Hernigou published in 2002 was the first pilot study suggesting that injection of bone marrow stem cells was a safe approach able to improve osteonecrosis in patients with early stages. Since then, an impressive number of studies and trials employing unselected BM-derived cells (1000 the last 2 years) showed that delivery of those cells to the site of osteonecrosis during core decompression was somehow able to ameliorate the patient with osteonecrosis. In order to translate the promise of this cell therapy into better clinical benefit, many questions need to be addressed. In this review, we therefore analyzed current clinical experience of the literature and our experience of 4000 cases to address these questions and particularly the number of cells that should be injected. RESULTS: After almost 20 years of clinical research in this field, we are still far from having drawn conclusions on the number of cells we should inject in regenerating hip osteonecrosis. Findings are difficult to interpret due to heterogeneity of causes of osteonecrosis, as well as differences in the cells count, sample quality, and stages of osteonecrosis. The authors address specific issues, as cell quality, cell numbers, volume of osteonecrosis, concentration of cells, and ex vivo expansion. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are supposed to be "functionally competent," but are collected from the bon, marrow of patients with diseases and risk factors of osteonecrosis. The recipient organ (bone osteonecrosis) is a tissue where several alterations have already occurred. These questions are addressed in this review. CONCLUSION: In this review, we analyzed current clinical experience regarding cell therapy and address issues that should be a guide for future cell-based therapeutic application in osteonecrosis.
