To evaluate the clinical safety and obtain preliminary effectiveness data for OrthoPure™ XT device in a small group of US patients at 12 and 24 months. The clinical experience obtained from this study will be used to develop a pivotal study for follow up in a larger patient population.
The OrthoPure™ XT device is a decellularized, sterile, single use biological scaffold for use in the treatment of patients with a partial or complete tear of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) who require surgical reconstruction of the ACL. This is a Pilot Safety Study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety of the OrthoPure™ XT device in a small group of patients that require reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) due to partial or complete tear of the ACL. Clinical safety will be analyzed through measurement of immune response (alpha-Gal IgG), blood and urine analysis, incidence of secondary surgical interventions with the treated knee, and the incidence of individual adverse events. The second objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy endpoints, specifically: improvement in knee stability, function and pain; improvement in patient quality of life and radiographic analysis.

Assessment of anti-Gal IgG antibody levels
Blood sample collection for measurement of immune response
Time frame: profile up to 24 months
Measurement of serum chemistry
Blood sample analysis
Time frame: up to 24 months
Incidence of secondary surgical interventions (SSIs)
The frequency and seriousness of any secondary surgical interventions will be assessed.
Time frame: up to 24 months
Incidence of individual Adverse Events
The frequency and seriousness of any adverse events or adverse device.effects will be assessed.
Time frame: up to 24 months
Improvement in knee stability - Pivot Shift Test
Measured by the assessment of change in the anterior cruciate instability in the treated knee
Time frame: 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
Improvement in knee stability - Lachman test
Measured by clinical examination of the treated knee (assessment of anterior translation), more than about 2 mm of anterior translation compared to the normal opposite knee suggests an ACL tear
Time frame: 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
Improvement in knee stability - Anterior Drawer Test
Clinical assessment of the treated knee, an increased amount of anterior tibial translation compared with the opposite, normal knee can indicate an ACL tear. If the tibia pulls forward or backward more than normal, the test is considered positive
