About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Augment™ Bone Graft Plus Evaluate the Safety of Allograft for Treatment of Osteochondral Defects (OCD) of the Knee

Is Augment Bone Graft plus Allograft safe to use for the treatment of osteochondral defects of the knee?

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be 18 to 40 years with an osteochondral defects of the knee.They will be candidates for allograft and Augment Bone Graft will be added to the procedure. The safety of Augment Bone Graft plus allograft for osteochondral defects of the knee will be evaluated by type, frequency, severity and relatedness of adverse events to the device for a minimum of 24 weeks.Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be performed at 1,12 and 42 weeks to evaluate device integrity and surgical treatment of osteochondral defects. Computed tomography will be done at week 1 and week 24 to determine the healing status of the osteochondral defect.

Augment Bone Graft

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Augment Bone GraftDevice

    Also called Bone Graft

    Augment Bone Graft physically fills bone defects by providing a biocompatible scaffold for new bone formation.The material is comprised of a matrix of beta tricalcium phosphate and a highly purified recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor.
