About this study

With IRB approval and informed consent, patients (n=10) (18-50 years old) with post-traumatic knee OA and requiring a tibial plateau and meniscus arthroplasty plus a femoral condyle arthroplasty will be enrolled in the study. Primary criteria for inclusion will be Grade IV changes in the articular cartilage of the femoral condyle and tibial plateau and meniscal pathology in the medial or lateral femorotibial joint as determined by physical examination, diagnostic imaging and knee arthroscopy by the PI. Exclusion criteria include Grade III or IV changes in any other compartment of the knee, acute injury to any other part of the affected lower extremity, or inability to comply with the protocol.

After enrollment, patients will undergo standardized knee radiography, and complete assessments (described below). Size-matched (standard clinical methodology) proximal tibia with meniscus and distal femur allografts from the same donor will be obtained from a tissue bank (Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, Edison, NJ) who has licensed the MOPS technology. The medial or lateral femoral condyle will be replaced using our novel instrumentation and technique described above. Tibial plateau-meniscus grafts will be trimmed and used to replace the entire medial or lateral tibial condyle while sparing the attachments of ACL, PCL and respective collateral ligament. The tibial plateau graft will be fixated using commercial available implants used for bone fixation. In the event that the meniscus has been detached from the tibial plateau during graft harvest, the periphery of the meniscus will be sutured to the capsule following standard meniscus transplant procedure.

Patients will undergo controlled post-operative rehabilitation according to standard protocols for osteochondral with concurrent meniscus allografts.

Range of motion, VAS pain score, SF-12, Tegner score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective and objective scores, PROMIS Bank v1.2 - Physical Function-Mobility, PROMIS v1.1 - Global Health, PROMIS Bank v1.1- Pain Interference, PROMIS Bank v1.2 - Physical Function and Marx score as well as complete radiographs of the affected knee will be obtained prior to surgery and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery to evaluate healing, function and evidence for arthrosis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual Analogue Scale Pain Score

    patient reported Visual Analogue Scale Pain Score, 0 no pain, 10 maximum pain

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tegner Activity Level Scale

    Patient reported outcome scale related to work and sporting activities, The Tegner activity scale is a one-item score that graded activity based on work and sports activities on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero represents disability because of knee problems and 10 represents national or international level soccer.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Total Score

    Knee specific patient reported outcome, ranges from 0 to 100. This final number is interpreted as a measure of function with higher scores representing higher levels of function.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. PROMIS - Physical Function and Mobility

    A survey related to physical function and mobility, T-score metric in which 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population.

    On the T-score metric:

    A score of 40 is one SD lower than the mean of the reference population. A score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population. A higher score is better for this outcome measure as it indicates more function/mobility compared to the mean of the reference population.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis, run by James Stannard at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analogue Scale Pain Score (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2021.
