Hip osteoarthritis constitutes a prevalent condition among individuals aged 55 and above, serving as one of the primary triggers for joint discomfort and impairment, and marking a substantial origin of chronic pain particularly affecting the elderly population. Our article provides an exhaustive summary of the mechanisms of action, therapeutic efficacy, and potential adverse consequences associated with novel therapeutic modalities including glucocorticoids, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, mesenchymal stem cells, and stromal vascular fraction.
