Brief Summary

Objective: The investigators initiated a pilot clinical study to test safety and preliminary efficacy in humans (bone tissue repairing capacity) and to evaluate standard clinical and rehabilitation protocols. Summary Background Data: Bone tissue engineering scaffolds loading growth factors have been considered as the most perspective among all bone substitutes, yet little progress of its clinical translation has been made. The concept of "micro-scaffolds" was proposed in this study to provide a trajectory to its clinical translation. Methods: Pre-cured CPC/rhBMP-2 micro-scaffolds have been successfully developed and further applied as an easy-to-operate filler for bone regeneration in a pilot clinical study. Patients of tibial plateau fractures, proximal humeral fractures, or calcaneal fractures at a similar level of severity were randomly divided into two groups and treated by CPC/rhBMP-2 microffolds or traditional CPC paste (control group).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • X-ray

    X-ray radiography at different time intervals after implantation was employed to observe the osseointegration of the implanted microffolds to host bone and the degradation of the material.

    Pre-operation; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24 months post-operation.

  • Clinical examination

    The assessment was based on clinical examination. After the CPC implantation, all patients were observed according to the following indexes: allergic or toxic reactions, rash or high fever.

    1 week post-operation

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Function scoring - IOWA knee score

    1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 months post-operation.

  • Function scoring - IOWA ankle score

    1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 months post-operation.

  • Function scoring - NEER shoulder score

    1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 months post-operation.

Study Arms (2)

CPC/rhBMP-2

EXPERIMENTAL

All operations were done by doctors titled with associate chief physician or above. Procedures were performed under general anesthesia in a tertiary care medical center. A minimally invasive internal fixation method had been applied in the surgeries. In brief, the patients with fracture were treated by reduction of fracture first of all, the correction of displacement, and the angle of the deformity, and the use of metal implants were fixed, and the collapse of the cancellous bone was filled with CPC/rhBMP-2 microffolds (product of Shanghai Rebone Biomaterials Co., Ltd, following the manufacturer's instruction), which was compacted and prevented from filling material into the joint cavity.
