A Biologic Joint Replacement Strategy for Knee Trauma and Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Procedure: Extensive Biologic Arthroplasty
Procedure: Unicompartmental Biologic Arthroplasty
Registration Number
NCT03719417
Lead Sponsor
University of Missouri-Columbia
Brief Summary

Participants will be enrolled in a prospective clinical trial to assess outcomes in 2 cohorts of patients undergoing unicompartmental versus more extensive biologic OCA transplantation of the knee using MOPSTM-preserved allografts (including menisci), anatomically-shaped allografts, autogenous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMC)-treated donor bone, and treatment-specific postoperative rehabilitation.

Detailed Description

With IRB approval, patients will be enrolled in a prospective clinical trial to assess outcomes in 2 cohorts of patients undergoing unicompartmental versus more extensive biologic OCA transplantation of the knee using MOPSTM-preserved allografts (including menisci), anatomically-shaped allografts, autogenous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMC)-treated donor bone, and treatment-specific postoperative rehabilitation. Demographic and operative data will be collected. Outcome assessments will include VAS pain, IKDC, SANE, Tegner and PROMIS Mobility for knee at 6 months and yearly after surgery. In addition, serial limb alignment measurements, ultrasonographic assessments of meniscal location and integrity, quantitative MRIs for cartilage composition, and serum and urine biomarkers for treatment monitoring will be performed. All complications and re-operations will be recorded. OCA survival will be determined based on maintenance of acceptable levels of pain and function and/or need for revision surgery or total knee arthroplasty.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
VAS Pain Score (Visual Analog Scale)12 Months

This pain score is between 0 and 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
International Knee Documentation Committee Score (IKDC)12 Months

This score looks at pain and function scores. 0 is the lowest score and 100 is the highest function score.

Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score12 Months

This score looks at what the patient rates their knee with 100% being normal, and 0% being as far from normal as possible

PROMIS Mobility12 Months

This looks at mobility and function on a scale of 14.1 to 61.7 with higher scores equaling higher mobility
