PurposeBone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been proposed to enhance bone formation in allografts. However, it is not known whether a combination of MSCs, contained in bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and structural allograft could be better than an allograft without MSCs and equivalent to a femoral head autograft in terms of histologic bone formation and long-term cellularity in the graft. After ten years of follow-up, three types of grafts: those initially loaded with BM-MSCs; dead, irradiated allografts; autografts.
