Efficacy and Safety of Stem Cell Combination Therapy for Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Stem cell therapy combined with core decompression is an effective and feasible method with few complications in the clinical treatment of early-stage ONFH. Even in the combination of porous tantalum rod implantation and peripheral blood stem cells, stem cell combination therapy is superior to single biomechanical support treatment. But high-quality, large-sample, multicenter, and long-term follow-up RCTs are still needed to corroborate the efficacy and safety of stem cell combination therapy in ONFH treatment.
