2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Peroneal and Achilles tendon tears are common diseases that present challenges to surgeons due to tendon adhesion complications. Functional recovery is compromised by limiting post-operative range of motion, mobility, and can lead to considerable amount of post-operative pain for the patient. Amniotic membrane tissue has demonstrated clinical success as an anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring agent and promoting wound healing towards regeneration. Cryopreserved human amniotic membrane and umbilical cord (AM/UC) tissue in the form of CLARIX® CORD 1K has been used to treat over 5000 orthopedic patients. The investigators hypothesize that its use in peroneal and Achilles tendon surgical repair will enhance the overall functional recovery of the patient.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical performance of the OrthADAPT Bioimplant in patients with acute mid-substance Achilles tendon tears requiring surgical repair.
