About this study

Official title: Comparative of Clinical and Evaluation Results of Medial Meniscus Arthroscopic Reconstruction Using the Fast Fix and FiberStitch Systems

Clinical and comparative evaluation of the treatment results of arthroscopic reconstruction of the medial meniscus of the knee joint using the Fast Fix and FiberStitch systems.

Read the detailed description

The main goal of the project is to evaluate the results of medial meniscus traumatic injury suturing. Further (detailed) objectives are: to compare the results obtained in the study groups of suturing the medial meniscus with the use of two systems: Fast Fix (smith \& nephew) and Fiber Stitch (arthrex). The results refering to the operated limb will be compared in both groups between themselves and furthermore with the results of clinical and biomechanical studies on non-operated limbs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tegner Activity Level Scale (TAS);

    The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) aims to provide a standardized method in determining the level of activity prior to injury and level of activity post injury that can be documented on a numerical scale.

    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: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medial Meniscus Arthroscopic Reconstruction Using the Fast Fix and Medial Meniscus Arthroscopic Reconstruction Using the Fiber Stitch in people with Meniscus; Detachment, Current Injury and Detachment, run by eMKa MED Medical Center at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2022. 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Maciej Kentel, MD PhD (+48518744908, emkamed.cm@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tegner Activity Level Scale (TAS); (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 34 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Apr 2022.
