A newly developed technique evades the involvement of doctors as the scope of surgery is nullified by injecting patients with their own bone cells rather than obtaining it from donors.

Although, it's still on experimental phase, it rules out the possibility of involvement of doctors' surgery in the hip replacement. According to the procedure the patient is injected with bone marrow cells of its own used in amalgamation with polymer scaffolds to give support to the new hip stem.

Scientists at the universities of Southampton and Nottingham strongly believe that the technique will not only prove to be effective, but also promote hip regrowth and repair without complications.

It was earlier observed during the primary stages of research that polymers aided in bone formation and attachment of the hip implant via creating a living cell material.

The head of the project Richard Oreffo said, "Surgeons currently use bone from donors during bone grafting, so introducing a patient's own stem cells to create a living cell or material composite would be a totally new approach."
