NCT02539030

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 to prove the non-inferiority of the modified microfracture using collagen in patients with cartilage defects in their knees.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 100mmVAS(Visual Analogue Scale)

    It will be evaluated by the VAS score 12 months after surgery of the affected knee of the investigational group and the control group.

    12 month after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • change of 100 mmVAS (Visual Analogue Scale)

    screening, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery

  • change of Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome (KOOS)

    screening, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery

  • change of International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC)

    screening, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery

  • the results of MRI and MRI of articular cartilage examination (T2, T2 star, deGEMRIC, UTE, etc.), mMOCART

    12 months after surgery

Eligibility Criteria

Age15 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \- 1. Patients with cartilage defects in their knee (Including Knee OA and Knee TA) 2. Knee osteoarthritis patients whose Kellgren-Lawrence Grading Scale score is lower than 3 (patients who received simultaneous or previous correction will be excluded).
  • \. Patients with misalignment of their tibia and femur, unstable ligament in their knee, or bony defects in the lesions of their knee, and/or who had been treated for alignment 4. Patients who were 15 years old or older 5. Patients or their representative (for adults), or patients and their parent/guardian (for minors), who agreed to participate in the study and signed the informed consent form

You may not qualify if:

  • \. If patients or their families suffer from or have ever suffered from an autoimmune disease.
  • \. Patients who have ever suffered an anaphylactic reaction. 3. Patients who have ever suffered hypersensitivity to an implant. 4. Patients with a history of allergy to porcine or bovine protein. 5. Subjects with inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid and gouty arthritis.
  • \. Subjects with autoimmune disease related arthritis. 7. Subjects who are pregnant and/or breast-feeding and/or plan a pregnancy. 8. Subjects with tumors. 9. Subjects who have undergone radiotherapy or chemotherapy within the last 2 years (Exception: if the possibility of collagen treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision).
  • \. Subjects who are diabetic. (Exception: if the possibility of CartiFillâ„¢ treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision, and/or patient's blood glucose level remains within the normal range and/or no other complications by diabetes mellitus.) 11. Subjects with infections, currently on treatment with antibiotics or antimicrobials (Exception: if the possibility of collagen treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision).
  • \. Subjects under adrenocorticoid therapy (Exception: if the possibility of collagen treatment is confirmed with doctor's clinical decision).
  • \. Subjects with psychiatric disorders who are considered inappropriate to participate in this trial by the Principal Investigator.
  • \. Patients who have ever suffered contraindications of the used Fibrin sealant. (The major contraindications are as follows: patients with hypersensitivity to aprotinin and those treatments for severe brisk arterial or venous bleeding.)
