RECRUITING
BioPoly® Partial Resurfacing Knee Implant IDE
Description

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the BioPoly® Partial Resurfacing Knee Implant for the treatment of cartilage defects of the distal femur in adult patients with knee pain and symptoms who are candidates for surgical intervention of the knee compared to outcomes for the control group. The primary effectiveness endpoint is Month 24 composite clinical success (CCS) defined by: * no secondary surgical intervention (SSI) and * an improvement from baseline in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) total score (scaled 0 to 100) of at least 10 points. Researchers will compare the CCS for the investigational device group to a control group receiving the standard of care, either microfracture or debridement). Subjects randomized to the investigational group will receive the BioPoly Knee device and those randomized to the control group will receive the current standard of care, either microfracture or debridement.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
Prospective Evaluation of ProChondrix CR for Repair of Articular Cartilage Defects on Femoral Condyle and Patella
Description

COMPLETED
Evaluation of Safety and Exploratory Efficacy of CARTISTEM®, a Cell Therapy Product for Articular Cartilage Defects
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CARTISTEM, a cell therapeutic product, is safe and effective in the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the knee as a result of ageing, trauma, or degenerative diseases.

TERMINATED
Knee Articular Cartilage Debridement in Conjunction With Partial Meniscectomy
Description

The aim of this study is to describe changes at the site of the study patient's articular cartilage lesion on the femoral condyle with multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes 6 months after treatment using one of three standard surgical treatment methods: 1) lavage debridement; 2) mechanical debridement; 3) mechanical and radiofrequency-based debridement.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
Episealer® Knee System IDE Clinical Study
Description

The study is a randomized, prospective, multicenter, controlled clinical trial of the Episealer Knee System. The Episealer Knee System is intended for subjects with up to two focal femoral knee chondral or osteochondral lesion that is causing pain and/or disability and requires surgical treatment.

RECRUITING
Microfracture Versus Adipose Derived Stem Cells for the Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects
Description

The purpose of this study is to compare two biologic methods for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee. The first method, microfracture, is the standard of care and is routinely used to recruit cells from the subchondral bone marrow to the site of cartilage loss. The second method is the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the defect site. In theory, ADSCs on a collagen scaffold should enable the delivery of more specific progenitor cells to the site of injury, resulting in better regeneration and integration of articular cartilage at the site of a defect as compared to the microfracture method.

UNKNOWN
DeNovo NT Longitudinal Data Collection (LDC) Knee Study
Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of DeNovo NT, a tissue product used for the repair of cartilage damage in the knee. This product has been on the market since 2007 and implanted in more than 10,000 patients around the country.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Impact of Bone-Marrow Aspirate Injections in Knee Arthroscopy: a RCT
Description

This study will examine whether using bone marrow aspirate (BMA) during knee arthroscopy surgery can improve patient outcomes. The investigators will enroll 50 patients who need knee arthroscopy surgery for meniscus injuries or cartilage damage. Like flipping a coin, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups of 25 patients each. One group will receive standard arthroscopic surgery plus an injection of bone marrow aspirate, while the other group will receive standard surgery plus a saline (salt water) injection. During surgery, for patients in the treatment group, approximately 4mL (less than one teaspoon) of bone marrow will be taken from their hip bone using a special needle system. A small amount (1mL) will be sent to the laboratory for testing. Patients will be followed for 12 months after surgery and will complete questionnaires about their pain levels and knee function at several time points: before surgery, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. These questionnaires will ask about pain, daily activities, and overall improvement.
