12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Demonstrate equivalent clinical and radiologic outcomes to the "gold standard" (ABG) in a representative clinical model (hindfoot and ankle fusions) STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Augment® Bone Graft is an equivalent bone grafting substitute to autologous bone graft in applications as shown by non-inferiority analysis STUDY RATIONALE: Evaluate a fully synthetic growth-factor enhanced bone graft substitute to facilitate fusion in conditions or injuries requiring bone graft in a representative clinical fusion model and thus the opportunity to provide equivalent union rates as ABG without necessitating an additional invasive procedure to harvest the graft REGULATORY PHASE: Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for Premarket Approval (PMA) Application as a bone regeneration system, pivotal phase
The purpose of this study is to utilize Trinity Evolution as a graft source in foot/ankle fusions and to follow the subjects to measure the clinical outcomes and fusion rate. The hypothesis of the study is that Trinity Evolution will result in fusion rates and clinical outcomes similar to those obtained from autograft and other routinely used allograft materials; these include: fusion, improvement in pain, improvement in function, and absence of adverse events related to the use of the graft source.
Vitamin D is important for bone health and recent research has emphasized the importance of adequate vitamin D levels for bone healing, wound healing, and possibly preventing infections post-operatively. This study will assess the effect of vitamin D supplementation on patient outcomes following ankle arthrodesis or first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis.
To assess if vitamin D status in the elective foot and ankle fusion population affects fusion healing categorically (fused vs. un-fused).
The objective of the registry is to evaluate the continued safety and performance of the Arthrex foot and ankle products including the ProStop implant for hyperpronated foot, Bio-Compression Screw for reconstruction surgeries of the foot, TRIM-IT Drill Pin, TRIM-IT Spin Pin for fixation of fractures and fusion (bunionectomy osteotomies) of the foot/ankle, Headless Compression Screws and Compression FT Screws for fixation of small bone fragments of the foot/ankle and DynaNite® Nitinol Staple to be used for fixation such as Lisfranc arthrodesis, mono or bi-cortical osteotomies in the forefoot, first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis, Akin osteotomy, midfoot and hindfoot arthrodeses or osteotomies, fixation of osteotomies for hallux valgus treatment (Scarf and Chevron), and arthrodesis of the metatarsocuneiform joint to reposition and stabilize metatarsus primus varus and Beveled Headed FT Screws for osteotomy fixation of Hallux valgus repair (such as Scarf and Chevron etc.)
WRIGHT FOOT \& ANKLE POST-MARKET OBSERVATIONAL STUDY, Multi-Year, Multi-Site, Multi-Device, Post-Market Observational Study, 10 sites, a minimum of 40 patients per device
This prospective registry was designed as an observational study to ascertain how commercially available Burst Products are being used by foot and ankle surgeons performing procedures which involve bone grafting, as well as determining relevant patient outcomes.
This study will compare TMT Fusion Plate versus two crossed screws for the fixation of first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis. Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to one of these two treatment options.
The purpose of this research study is to see how well (compared to placebo) Enbrel® (etanercept) 50 mg twice a week for 12 weeks affects plaque psoriasis of the hands and/or feet (palmoplantar psoriasis).
Offloading Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are devices designed for people following lower-limb reconstruction to restore mobility by reducing mechanical loading through the injury site and redistributing it proximally. While they perform well for some users, their current form limits full functional potential and may put joints proximal to the injury at risk of long-term damage. This study is directed toward designing and testing a lightweight, variable stiffness, dynamic brace that can adjust in response to user activity.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel sustained dynamic compression intramedullary nail for tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis utilizing longitudinal weight-bearing computed tomographic imaging. Of particular focus will be assessment of compressive element recovery and its relation to fusion development over time and weight-bearing status. Additionally, the study will incorporate longitudinal fusion assessment to evaluate differences between three-dimensional weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans and two-dimensional radiographs (X-rays) at multiple points of the fusion process. Finally, the study will evaluate the differences in WBCT-based fusion assessment between automated and manual methodologies for fusion area calculation.
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
