In the six months prior to screening, there were obvious injuries involving the target hip joint; 3. The subject's femoral head necrosis was due to other diseases affecting the hip joint (such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, symptomatic cartilage calcification, bone necrosis, active infection), or according to the researcher's judgment, peripheral or central nervous system lesions that might affect the assessment of pain and function of the target hip joint (such as back pain, knee joint disease, intervertebral disc protrusion, sciatic nerve pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, etc.); 4. The femoral head of the target hip joint had obvious necrosis, collapse, joint fusion, etc.; 5. Those who had a history of hip joint replacement, arthroplasty, or other hip joint surgeries, or planned to undergo surgical treatment of any lower limb/hip joint during the study period; 6. The target hip joint had suppurative arthritis or a previous history; 7. The target hip joint had obvious joint effusion; 8. During the screening period, the target hip joint had active joint infection or skin ulceration, infection in the surgical area, or any significant chronic skin disease that might interfere with the surgical procedure; 9. The subject was treating the target hip joint, and within 30 days before screening, had used opioids or glucocorticoids for treatment; or was required to use opioids or glucocorticoids for long-term treatment during the study period; 10. Patients who had received any drug injection or surgical treatment in the hip joint (both sides or any one side) within 6 months before the treatment start; 11. Started using drugs such as cilostazol for promoting blood circulation and anticoagulation therapy 8 weeks before screening; 12. Note: If antihypertensive drugs or anticoagulant drugs such as cilostazol were used for treatment for ≥ 8 weeks before screening, they could be used at a stable dose during the study period; 13. The subject had a disease requiring systemic glucocorticoid treatment; 14. Abnormal liver and kidney function: At the time of screening, AST or ALT \> 2 × upper limits of normal (ULN); or serum creatinine \> 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance rate ≤ 50 mL/min; 15. Note: For men, the creatinine clearance rate (mL/min) = \[(140 - age) × weight (kg)\] / \[0.818 × Cr (μmol/L)\]; for women, the creatinine clearance rate (mL/min) = male creatinine clearance rate (mL/min) × 0.85; 16. The subject had any type of active malignant tumor and was receiving systemic chemotherapy; or within 5 years before screening, was diagnosed with cancer (excluding squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma of the skin); 17. According to the researcher's judgment, before enrollment, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showed clinically significant abnormalities; including QTc (QTcB) \> 450 ms, or heart rate \> 100 bpm, or QRS \> 120 ms, or PR \> 220 ms; 18. Basic cardiovascular diseases: Within 6 months before enrollment, had experienced the following cardiovascular events: myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery or traumatic coronary artery reperfusion surgery or stroke; unstable angina pectoris; variant angina pectoris; symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association cardiac function grade III-IV or ejection fraction ≤ 35%); 19. Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg after standardized antihypertensive drug treatment); 20. Positive hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, AIDS antibody, syphilis antibody tests; 21. Those who are known or suspected to be allergic to the active or inactive ingredients of the research drug; 22. Gastrointestinal underlying diseases: having a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); subjects with active gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding within 30 days before enrollment, or who have had recurrent ulcer bleeding in the past; 23. Allergic to the test drug or having a history of hypersensitivity reaction; 24. Subjects unable to avoid non-habitual physical activities (such as starting new weightlifting exercises); 25. Having a clear history of mental disorder, or having a history of abuse of psychotropic drugs or drug addiction; 26. Alcohol (defined as drinking more than 2 units per day/ more than 14 units per week, 1 unit being equivalent to 360ml of beer or 45ml of 40% alcohol content spirits or 150ml of wine) or drug abusers; or those with mental disorders; 27. Pregnant women, lactating women, and women of childbearing age who have not undergone sterilization surgery/are not in menopause/are unwilling to use medically approved effective contraceptive measures during the study period; men who have not undergone sterilization surgery/are unwilling to use medically approved effective contraceptive measures during the study period; 28. Those who have participated in any other clinical trials within 3 months before screening; 29. Other situations deemed unsuitable for participation in this trial by the investigator.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • To verify the effectiveness of tissue-engineered bone in the treatment of early femoral head necrosis — 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and one year after the operation
    The judgment is mainly based on the X-ray plain films and MRI results of the hip joint during the follow-up process: ① Improvement: New bone is generated in the necrotic bone tissue within the femoral head; ② Unchanged: There was no further collapse of the femoral head; ③ Deterioration: Femoral head collapses, osteoarthritis occurs in the femoral head, and total hip replacement arthroplasty (THA) is performed. If the imaging indicates improvement or no change, the imaging is successful; if it indicates deterioration, it is a failure.
  • To verify the effectiveness of tissue-engineered bone in the treatment of early femoral head necrosis — Before the operation, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after the operation
    The degree of pain of the patients was evaluated by visual analogue scales (VAS) before the operation, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after the operation respectively. The VAS pain score standard: A score of 0 to 10, from low to high, indicates an increase in the degree of pain. A score of 0 indicates no pain, and a score of 10 indicates severe and unbearable pain.
  • To verify the effectiveness of tissue-engineered bone in the treatment of early femoral head necrosis — Before the operation, 6 months after the operation and 1 year after the operation
    The hip joint function of the patients was evaluated by Harris score before the operation, 6 months after the operation and 1 year after the operation respectively. The total score of the Harris score is 100 points, including 44 points for the pain score, 51 points for the functional score (daily activities, walking gait, walking distance, degree of deformity), and 5 points for the range of motion of the hip joint (forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, adduction, internal rotation).
