Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have been able to identify a potential treatment for the death of bone tissue or osteonecrosis.

The health complication is noticed among people administered with steroids to treat different medical conditions; there is no treatment option, at present, to provide relief to patients afflicted with this complication.

The research was published in the April 27 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A potential new treatment for death of bone tissue or osteonecrosis has been identified by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. This form of treatment is in context to individuals who are treated with steroids for different common medical disorders.

Presently, there are no treatment options for people affected with this debilitating disease.

Adam Vasser of Los Altos, California, was an active kid with a flair for baseball until one day when his heart was attacked by a mysterious virus requiring a need for a heart transplant. He underwent steroid treatment in the long term for preventing rejection of transplant leaving him to lead his life with osteonecrosis, an excruciating knee disorder.

Now at 23 and undergoing 15 knee and heart surgeries, he is back to play baseball again, all due to a new technique known as cellular grafting.

The 60-minute surgery, known as osteoprogenitor cellular grafting, involved scooping out the dead bone and thereafter filing the space in with a new cellular matter. It was theorized by Goodman that use of bone cells is better than using traditional bone grafting for these kinds of cases. A longer-term follow-up study with a larger number of patients was recommended by Goodman, an orthopedic surgeon Stuart Goodman, MD, PhD.
