19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Laser pulsed energy will be delivered over an optical fiber to create channels into damaged cartilage of the knee or knees. The channels have a diameter of approximately 100 microns or less and an approximate depth of 1 millimeter or less. Bone marrow aspirate will then be delivered into the damaged joint.
This confirmatory study is a prospective randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of an autologous chondrocyte tissue implant (NeoCart) to the surgical intervention microfracture in the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee.
The objectives of the Cartilage Repair Registry is to report the long term efficacy and safety of cartilage repair procedures in Registry patients.
The purpose of this post market study is to evaluate surgical implantation technique and the quality of repair of the cartilage defect with particulated juvenile cartilage in the human knee joint.
The primary objective of this registry is to obtain long-term outcomes on ProChondrix CR in cartilage repair procedures of the knee, ankle, foot and hip.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the use of ProChondrix Cryopreserved Osteochondral Allograft to obtain evidence of effectiveness, defined as an improvement in physical function and pain, when used on a symptomatic cartilage defect on the femoral condyle or patella in a mechanically stable knee.
This study is prospective single arm extension study of protocol AAG-G-H-1220. It is open only to participants of AAG-G-H-1220 randomized to the Microfracture treatment group.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hyalofast® scaffold with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) compared to microfracture in the treatment of symptomatic cartilage defects of the knee.
ISTO Technologies, Inc. is proposing a clinical study with 225 subjects, to establish the safety and efficacy of the Neocartilage Implant for the treatment of ICRS Grade 3 and 4 articular cartilage lesions of the knee compared to microfracture treatment.
The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to collect long-term outcomes for DeNovo NT Graft treatment of articular cartilage lesions in the ankle in a standard clinical setting. Outcomes to be assessed include pain, function, activity levels and healthcare resource use.
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.
BioCart™II is a novel scaffold seeded with autologous chondrocytes to be used to repair cartilage lesions of the knee. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of BioCart™II treatment compared to microfracture which is the classical method of treatment.
The purpose of this research study it to gather information on the safety and side effects of treating cartilage defects with autologous cartilage cells mixed with allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in a fibrin glue.
The Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS) is designed as a single surgical treatment of damaged knee cartilage using the subject's own healthy cartilage obtained from a non-weight or low weight-bearing region. CAIS is indicated for the repair of articular cartilage lesions and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee through cartilage regeneration.
The objective of this study is to determine how effective a plug made out of human bone (called "CR-Plug") will be in the treatment of smaller, focal defects (like the injury the patient has to their knee).
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the clinical outcome of repair of meniscus tears located in the "red/white" region using a well-known suture technique combined, when indicated, with platelet-rich plasma to enhance healing. The outcome of this operation will be determined in a consecutive group of patients with an established, rigorous knee rating system a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. Results will be determined by the analysis of subjective and functional factors, sports and occupational activity levels, a comprehensive physical examination, and a radiographic evaluation using standard plain x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging. The investigators hypothesize that meniscus repairs will significantly reduce tibiofemoral compartment pain and allow for increased knee function and activity levels. The platelet rich plasma adjunct will be used in complex meniscus tears in which a portion of the tear extends into the avascular region classified as either longitudinal, horizontal, or radial. The investigators hypothesize that the healing rate of these repairs will be superior to those previously reported in clinical studies in patients who had the suture repair technique alone.
The main objective of this study is to test the ability of an allograft plug to provide a successful repair of an osteochondral defect left at the harvest site during OATS procedure.
This study is a prospective, longitudinal, multi-center, within patient evaluation of patients with articular cartilage defects of the knee who have had an inadequate response to a prior non-Carticel surgical treatment. Patients who met eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study. Subsequent to implantation with Carticel patients have follow-up every 6-months up to 48-months.
To determine which of three types of spacer grafts (hard palate vs autologous ear cartilage vs Enduragen) are the most effective in lower eyelid retraction repair outcomes as measured by MRD2 (margin to reflex distance 2)
