the Efficacy and Safety of a Modified Microfracture Using Collagen Compared to Those of a Simple Microfracture in Ankle
- Conditions
- Defect of Articular Cartilage
- Interventions
- Procedure: MicrofractureDevice: CartiFill
- Registration Number
- NCT02519881
- Lead Sponsor
- Sewon Cellontech Co., Ltd.
- Brief Summary
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified microfracture using collagen, and to compare them with those of a simple microfracture in patients with cartilage defects in their ankles.
- Detailed Description
This study was an open-trial study. Sixty subjects participated in it. The study was explained to the subjects and they voluntarily agreed to participate in it. Their eligibility to participate in the study was checked, and they were randomized either into the simple microfracture group or the modified microfracture group using collagen based on a randomization table. They were asked to follow the guidelines of the investigators during the study and to visit the hospital five times, including for screening. At each visit, the subjects underwent an examination with doctors and MRI to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure. (\*If the subject began the first visit on the screening date, the total number of his or her visits was four.)

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 100mmVAS(visual analogue scale) score 12 months after the surgery The VAS's were evaluated 12 months after the surgery on the affected ankle in the study and control groups.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change score of 100mmVAS(visual analogue scale) Screening, 6, 12, and 24months after surgery The difference in the 100mmVAS on the affected ankle at the screening and after 12 months was compared in the study and control group, as were the differences in the 100mmVAS after 6, and 24 months.
Change of Satisfaction evaluation by patients Screening, 6, 12, and 24months after surgery The improvements in the affected ankle before and 12 months after the surgery (and six and 24 months after the surgery) were compared in the study and control group.
Change of AOFAS(American orthopaedic foot & ankle society) Score Screening, 6, 12, and 24months after surgery The difference in the AOFAS on the affected ankle at the screening and after 12 months was compared in the study and control group, as were the differences in the AOFAS after 6, and 24 months.
Change of Hannover Score Screening, 6, 12, and 24months after surgery The difference in the Hannover Score on the affected ankle at the screening and after 12 months was compared in the study and control group, as were the differences in the Hannover Score after 6, and 24 months.
Change of Satisfaction evaluation by physician in charge Screening, 6, 12, and 24months after surgery The improvements in the affected ankle before and 12 months after the surgery (and six and 24 months after the surgery) were compared in the study and control group.
Change results of Arthroscopy (ICRS(International Cartilage Repair Society)) before and 24 months after the surgery The conditions of the affected ankle before and 24 months after the surgery were recorded and the ICRS's were evaluated in the study and control group.
\* Arthroscopy was performed in up to 10 subjects who signed the consent form.the result of MRI(mMOCART) 24 months after the surgery The conditions of the affected ankle 24 months after the surgery were recorded and the mMOCART were evaluated in the study and control group.
