The objective of this long-term study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of AUGMENT® Injectable Bone Graft vs. autologous bone graft. The study involves evaluation of subjects originally treated under protocol BMTI-2009-01 or BMTI-2010-01 or treated with autograft under protocol BMTI-2006-01. Subjects will be asked to consent and return to provide long-term follow-up data at or after 60 months (5 years) have elapsed since their original surgery as a subject in protocol BMTI-2009-01 or BMTI-2010-01. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: The effectiveness and safety profile for AUGMENT® Injectable Bone Graft is maintained and remains comparable to that of autologous bone graft over long-term subject follow-up. REGULATORY PHASE: Post-approval study

Pain on weight bearing via Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Subjects were asked to stand and report pain on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (with 0 being no pain and 100 being worst pain imaginable).

Confirmation of bridging bone via computerized tomography (CT)
Overall Assessment of Osseous Bridging (% Bone Bridging; CT Scans) * Absent (0-24%) * Minimal (25-49%) * Moderate (50-74%) * Complete (75-100%)

AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society) Hindfoot and Ankle Score
Subjects were asked to report pain, functionality and ability levels while the physician performed assessments based on alignment, abnormality, motion, and stability. The total score ranges from a low of zero to a high of 100, with subscales measuring pain (40 points), function (50 points), and alignment (10 points), with higher scores showing better outcomes.

Foot Function Index, FFI
The Foot Function Index (FFI) measures the impact of foot pathology on function in terms of pain, disability and activity restriction. The FFI is a self-administered index consisting of 23 items divided into 3 sub-scales all ranging from 0-100. To obtain a sub-scale score, the item scores for a sub-scale are totaled and then divided by the maximum total possible for all of the sub-scale items which the subject indicated were applicable. Any item marked as not applicable is excluded from the total possible. Sub-scales are an average of the completed ratings within that sub-scale. The total foot function score is an average of the three sub-scale scores and ranges from 0-100. Lower scores are indicative of better outcomes whereas higher scores indicate greater impairment.
