Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating orthopaedic condition primarily affecting younger adults, often progressing to femoral head collapse and total hip replacement (THR). Stem cell therapy (SCT) has emerged as a regenerative option to delay disease progression and preserve joint function. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy of SCT, alone or in combination with mechanical support or bone grafting, in improving clinical outcomes in ONFH.
