699 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
All patients will be randomly assigned using a computer randomization algorithm to one of two matched cohort groups. Patients will not be advised which group they belong to until after the completion of the study. One group will be treated with autologous bone graft for bone patellar-tendon bone (BTB) Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR), and the other group will be treated with commercially available DBM (Demineralized bone matrix) putty. Patients will be enrolled from Banner University. Before and after surgery, patient reported outcomes including visual analog pain scale (VAS), Tegner-Lysholm and Cincinnati ACL Test. The principal investigator will evaluate the patients on subjective criteria such as pain and objective criteria including range of motion, arthritic changes seen on radiographs, infection, and ability to kneel.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different bone graft materials (freeze-dried bone allograft, FDBA and collagen-enriched bovine xenograft, CEBX) that are routinely used for preserving the remaining bone after extraction of an anterior tooth, and before placing a dental implant. Patients will be randomly assigned to either group (flip of a coin) One group will receive FDBA material and the other group will receive CEBX (cow) material. The study aims to examine the following main questions: * Potential differences in linear radiographic horizontal (HRD) and vertical (VRD) ridge dimensional changes between groups after 16 weeks of healing * Other clinical information of the treated areas and information regarding the esthetics of the dental implant that will subsequently be placed at the edentulous site as well as patient satisfaction with the treatment, will be evaluated. The study will include 7 study visits. Study procedures will take place during the same visits as the standard of care treatments (tooth extraction and bone graft, dental implant placement, crown installation and follow-ups). Clinical information from these standard of care visits will be used for the current research study, such as: * Demographic information * Clinical information from intraoral photographs * Radiographic information from cone beam computed tomography and periapical radiographs.
A post-market open label study to assess the efficacy of a cellular based allograft bone graft in lumbar spinal fusion at one or two levels
The purpose of this study is to assess the radiographic and clinical outcomes of spinal fusion following use of Allosync Expand and autograft bone graft.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a pain medication called liposomal bupivacaine (brand name EXPAREL®) with epinephrine will provide better pain control, increased activity, and reduced use of opioids compared with the standard treatment for patients age 6 years and older with cleft lip and palate who have had an alveolar bone graft surgery. Investigators will look at: * pain scores at hip and jaw sites * opioid use in amount and frequency * scores on activity questionnaires Researchers will compare the results of these items with those of patients who had the standard treatment of bupivacaine with epinephrine.
This multicenter prospective patient registry was developed with the aim of documenting how orthopedic surgeons are utilizing the NanoBone products in acute trauma cases along with relevant patient outcomes. These outcomes include radiographic measures such as fracture healing, instrumentation integrity, and clinical outcomes (symptom and function improvement) based on investigator and patient-based outcome assessments.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare patient-reported pain and oral health-related quality of life during the first postoperative week following extraction and bone graft surgery in patients who received preemptive ibuprofen versus placebo. Participants will receive ibuprofen 600mg or placebo by mouth with water 1 hour prior to extraction and bone graft surgery. The primary question it aims to answer is: • Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on postoperative pain 1 hour following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo? Secondary questions are: * Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on pain during the first 3 postoperative hours and 7 postoperative days following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo? * Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on oral health-related quality of life during the 7 postoperative days following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo?
The goal of this study was to compare, clinical and histologically, the use of the suine collagen matrix (Mucograft Seal \[MS\], Geisthlich®) and the free gingival graft (FGG) for the alveolar sealing after inserted bone graft biomaterial. It was included 18 patients with tooth referred to extraction (maxilar incisives, canines, or pre-molars) which were randomly divided in 2 groups, according to the material for alveolus sealing: control (FGG) and test (MS). After the minimally traumatic extraction, all the alveoli were filled with bovine mineral matrix (Bio-Oss®), and the material for alveolar sealing were positioned and stabilized with sutures. The follow-up (clinical and photographic) happened on the immediate post-operatory period, and with 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. After 120 days, before implant placement, tissues samples were obtained with a 3.5mm punch scalpel for histological analysis. Qualitative information related to the patient's perception considering the treatment were collected.
It is estimated that 48 out of 10,000 people, in the United States, will tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) annually and undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Surgeons have several graft options, surgical techniques, and fixation methods to consider when planning how to reconstruct a patient's ACL. Graft options vary greatly and include allografts and autografts with good evidence that are good choices. Further, autografts include several different specific grafts including; bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), hamstring tendons, and quadriceps tendon. There is no clear consensus on which graft type is superior, as each graft has associated positives and negatives. Historically, autologous BPTB grafts have been the preferred choice of surgeons given its ability to restore rotational stability for the knee, the robust healing with direct bone-to-bone contact at both ends of the graft, and low failure rates. However, there are drawbacks to ACLR using a BPTB graft. Complications following BPTB graft harvesting include patella fractures, patellar tendon ruptures, increased risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis, lack of terminal extension, and donor-site morbidity. The majority of these complications are associated with low-risk rates, except for donor-site morbidity which may be prevalent in 37-51% of BPTB graft patients. Donor-site pain can manifest as anterior knee, patellofemoral pain, loss of sensory input, or discomfort with kneeling and can negatively influence subjective as well as objective measures of knee function. Filling bony defects with bone graft is a procedure that is commonly conducted within orthopedics. However, its use in treating the bony defects caused during BPTB graft harvesting is less common as patella and tibial harvest sites are routinely left unfilled. Significant methodological differences in treatment interventions for the patella harvest site, the tibial harvest site, or both and conflicting results have made it difficult to determine if these treatments have clinical utility. To the best of the investigators' knowledge, there has been no investigation looking at the incidence of donor site morbidity treated with autologous bone grafting of the harvest sites. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if filling the harvest site defect is associated with a lower rate of donor site morbidity and better patient reported functional outcomes compared to patients whose harvest site remains unfilled. The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of donor site morbidity between patients who have their harvest sites bone grafted with autologous bone (BG) and those whose harvest sites remain unfilled (nBG).
To determine the effects of small and large bone graft particles vs large particles alone on percent vital bone, percent residual graft material, measured histologically from bone biopsies of the grafted site taken at the time of dental implant placement from subjects undergoing sinus augmentation for the placement of dental implants. Dental radiographs taken post operatively will be used to estimate bone graft volume differences between conditions.
The objectives of this longitudinal study are to assess and measure fusion status (fused or not fused) and rate of bony fusion using NanoBone® Synthetic Bone Graft in patients requiring one to two level lumbar posterolateral fusion procedures with or without commercially available rigid spinal instrumentation. Our hypothesis is that the Nanobone synthetic bone graft will be as effective at creating a fusion in the lumbar spine as compared with a local bone graft. Each subject will serve as their own control during this study, as patients will receive the Nanobone graft on the right side of their spine and the local bone graft on their left side.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KUR-113 Bone Graft (TGplPTH1-34 in fibrin) compared to local autograft for the treatment of Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD).
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if the use of Bone Morphogenic Protein(BMP)/Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) versus the use of autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (ICBG) will result in an increase in total cost effectiveness for patients undergoing alveolar bone graft (ABG) for Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) and to see if patients who are treated with DBM/BMP will have reduced post-operative pain scores,reduced operative times,and similar rates of bone healing compared to conventional ICBG.
This study will examine if there is a difference between the time to full union between the control group and the study group. Each group will be composed of patients who have an open fracture in the mid tibia. Both groups will undergo primary fixation via reamed intramedulary nailing (IMN), a common treatment for tibia shaft fractures in adults. The study group will have a bone graft applied to the open cortex of the fracture. The bone graft will be composed of the intramedullary reamings, which are a byproduct produced when the intramedullary canal is reamed in preparation for insertion of the IMN.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate if P-15L bone graft (investigational device) is not inferior in effectiveness and safety to local autologous bone (and allograft where necessary) as an extender (control device) when applied in instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in subjects with degenerative disc disease (DDD). In addition to the general overall objective, a sub-group analysis will be performed on the high-risk subject population (tobacco use, obesity, diabetes), as previous studies have shown negative effects of smoking, obesity and diabetes on fusion and bone healing, increased peri/postoperative complications, and lower patient-reported outcome scores.

This study will look at patient radiographic and functional outcomes who have or will undergo a reverse, extended peg, shoulder arthroplasty (replacement) that requires the use of glenoid bone grafting.
The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and effectiveness data on the investigational device for multi-level PLF procedures and determine the most appropriate rhBMP-2 dose for use in this indication. The study information may be used for a potential pivotal study design.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to compare new bone formation through histomorphometric analysis following maxillary sinus augmentation using two different bone graft materials. A total of twenty, sinus augmentation via a lateral approach will be performed for subjects requiring sinus augmentation for implant placement and randomly divided into 2 groups. These subjects will receive one of two different bone graft materials: 1) Anorganic bovine bone matrix- InterOss (Group A), 2) Anorganic bovine bone matrix- Bio-oss (Group B). At the time of implant placement (eight months after the sinus augmentation procedure), two bone biopsies will be collected from augmented site for the histomorphometric analysis. The percentage of vital bone will be measured and analyzed statistically, also the following will be measured: percentage of non-vital bone, percentage of non-bone material , and the percentage of connective tissue.
The objective of this long-term study is to evaluate the long term effectiveness and safety of AUGMENT® Bone Graft vs. autologous bone graft. The study involves evaluation of subjects originally treated under Protocol BMTI-2006-01. Subjects will be asked to consent and return to provide long-term follow-up data at or after 60 months (5 years) have elapsed since their original surgery as a subject in protocol BMTI-2006-01. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: The effectiveness and safety profile for AUGMENT® Bone Graft is maintained and remains comparable to that of autologous bone graft over long-term subject follow-up. REGULATORY PHASE: Post-approval study
The current study proposes adding BMP-2 (INFUSE), an anabolic agent, at the surgical site of TPA (tibial pseudarthrosis) repair in children with NF1, compared to a control group of patients treated surgically without BMP-2. The following Specific Aims will be addressed: 1) to determine if use of an osteogenic agent (BMP-2) at the time of surgical repair of TPA in NF1 patients will result in improved bone healing; 2) to document safety of BMP-2 in a pediatric NF1 population; and 3) to collect, process, and preserve biologic specimens at the time of surgery for future studies.
Randomized Controlled study to compare the effectiveness of two different treatment approaches using a new moldable beta-tricalcium phosphate(TCP) bone graft material in ridge preservation of an atraumatic extraction socket site compared to allograft with collagen plug.
This is a single-arm post-market study in patients requiring lumbar fusion using allograft interbody spacer in conjunction with map3® Cellular Allogeneic Bone Graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). This cohort study will enroll 80 patients total at up to 10 sites. After subjects have signed an informed consent, the baseline visit and examinations will be completed. Patients will be evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 month visit after surgery.
This study is intended to provide statistically robust evidence that Symbios Demineralized Cortical-cancellous granule mix, Symbios OsteoGraf LD-300, and OsteoGraf/N-300 combined with Symbios OsteoShield Collagen Resorbable Membrane can adequately support the alveolus during ridge augmentation procedures, reducing the dimensional changes of both the alveolus and the overlying soft tissues. Additionally, a comparison between each material will be made, providing further evidence of each materials' ability to preserve the alveolus. It is intended to define in objective terms the response of the hard and soft tissues to ridge augmentation.
The purpose of this study is to collect on-label safety and efficacy data where InQu Bone Graft Extender is applied to transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). It is expected that this study will contribute to the compilation of clinical data required to demonstrate the ability of InQu to promote safe, effective and timely spine fusion in patients who undergo PLIF or TLIF surgery. The results of this study will lead to further analysis (i.e. comparison to historical data of other marketed bone graft products, as well as, to local bone alone).
A case series to compare the handling and effectiveness of two different treatment approaches using a new alloplastic bone graft material in ridge preservation compared to allograft existing historical data.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant on the day of tooth extraction. One method will place a additional bone graft (derived from bovine bone) and the other group will not have the graft placed. Both groups will be restored at the same time with an immediate crown. The investigators will be researching and comparing the changes in gum level that occur after each surgical method, as well as changes in jaw width where the implant is placed. The investigators will enroll 16 patients per group. The patients will be followed for 3, 6, and 12 months post-immediate implant placement to observe healing.
This is a single arm pilot study in patients requiring surgical fusion in the foot or ankle. Patients will receive map3® Cellular Allogeneic Bone Graft containing donor matched stem cells. This cohort study will enroll 24 patients total at 1 site. After subjects have signed an informed consent, the baseline visit and examinations will be completed. Patients will be evaluated at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery.
The Evans calcaneal lengthening is a common surgical correction used for children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and painful flat feet. This procedure involves the insertion of a trapezoidal bone graft into the calcaneus bone. Both autograft and allografting materials have been used for this procedure, but both types of grafting materials have associated limitations. Autologous grafting materials, which are harvested from the iliac crest at the time of surgery, are associated with high rates of prolonged donor site pain. There is limited bone available from the iliac crest. For this reason autologous bone grafts are not commonly used for the Evan's procedure. Cadaver allografting materials are variable in their mechanical and geometric properties. Recently, xenografting materials have been developed that have consistent mechanical properties and are available in a larger size that is formed to fit the individual patient intraoperatively. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term outcomes of the procedure with the different graft options. Another purpose is to compare the difference in surgical correction obtained with the cadaver allograft and the xenografting materials. This study will also observe and evaluate a wide range of outcome variables that encompass multiple levels of patient care, from clinical observation to parent and patient satisfaction, and compare these with the observed changes in the radiographic and plantar pressure parameters of the foot. This data will be evaluated pre to post surgery and for two years of follow-up time. The aim is to uncover the characteristics of collapse observed with the two different grafting materials.
The purpose of this study is to compare new bone formation following bone graft in sinus using three different commercially available bone graft materials. The study hypothesis is that there is no difference in new bone formation among three bone graft materials under microscope.
