Abstract

To observe the effect of nano-artificial bone and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis. The bilateral femoral head internal bone defect model was established and divided into three groups. Group A was used to make the defect without filling any material as the control, group B was only filled with nano-artificial bone, and group C was filled with composite materials of nano-artificial bone and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The femoral head was examined using radiography and high-resolution focused 48-slice computed tomography (CT) at 12 weeks after implantation. A significant difference was found between groups B and C in the aspect of repairing the defect in osteogenesis of the femoral head as compared with the control group. Nano-collagen-based bone has strong osteogenic and osteogenic effects and is a good graft material for repairing bone defects of the femoral head. The use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can promote the repair of bone defects, which is of great value in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
