NCT04012567

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw versus BIOSURE HA Interference Screw (control device) in patients requiring reconstruction of cruciate ligaments of the knee. The trial results will be used for registration of Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw in China. The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is Lysholm score at 12 months after operation. The non-inferiority testing is performed for efficiency of primary efficacy endpoint, and the test hypothesis is as follows: Invalid hypothesis: H0: μ1-μ2 ≤-δ Alternative hypothesis: H1: μ1-μ2 \> -δ, where, μ1 and μ2 are the Lysholm scores in the investigational group and control group, respectively. δ is a non-inferiority critical value.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale 12 Months After Operation

    Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale evaluates functions of participants based on 8 items: limp, support, interlocking, pain, instability, swelling, stair climbing and squatting. The total Lysholm score is 0-100. Pain and instability account for a higher proportion in this score. The knee functions of patients are considered excellent when the score is 95-100, good when 84-94, fair when 65-83 and poor when less than 65 (i.e., 100 is best outcome and 0 is the worst outcome).

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale Pre-Operation and 6 Months & 24 Months After Operation

    Pre-Operation, Post-Operation 6 months, 24 months

  • International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Score

Study Arms (2)

The Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw

EXPERIMENTAL

The Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw, an absorbable screw designed with an open structure and made of biocomposite material, is used to fix ligaments, tendons, soft tissues or bone-tendon-bone grafts in knee surgery.

Device: Investigational device: Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw

The BIOSURE HA Interference Screw

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Biosure HA Interference Screw, an absorbable screw made of biocomposite material, is used to fix ligaments, tendons, soft tissues or bone-tendon-bone grafts in knee surgery.

Device: Control device: BIOSURE HA Interference Screw

Interventions

The Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw, an absorbable screw designed with an open structure and made of biocomposite material made of PLGA, β-TCP and calcium sulfate, is used to fix ligaments, tendons, soft tissues or bone-tendon-bone grafts in knee surgery. Its open structural design enables rapid bone ingrowth to make the screw integrated with bone tissues so as to promote healing.

The Biosure Regenesorb Interference Screw

BIOSURE HA Interference Screws and Drivers are designed for durability and reduced screw breakage. Both the screws and driver have been enhanced to allow screws to fully seat on the driver all the way to the tip of the screw, helping stress distribution and force transfer. The screw design also incorporates a consistent wall thickness throughout the length of the screw for added durability and features a tapered body for ideal ease of insertion.
