Overview

The aim of this study is to obtain performance and safety data of the new investigational device, dual-part Adaptos®Ortho Wedge, for its intended use in orthopaedic surgery. The study intervention is medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with loadbearing plate fixation, where a bone graft substitute material Adaptos®Ortho Wedge is evaluated when used as a bone void filler. Investigational device is expected to support bone formation in osteotomy gap and to resorb in the body. The comparator arms are treated with medial OWHTO with plate fixation, either without a bone graft (the bone defect is left empty, non-augmented osteotomy) or by using a comparator product (chronOS® Wedge, semi-circular) as a bone void filler.

The study aims to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of Adaptos®Ortho Wedge (Biomendex Oy) bone graft material, when used for filling the medial osteotomy gap of the knee during OWHTO surgery. This is partially randomized, subject and outcome assessor-blinded, controlled, multi-center study. The total study duration for each patient is planned to be 12 months. In total 6 visits per patient are scheduled in this study. The study has three arms, and patients of all study arms are treated with medial OWHTO surgery to treat unicompartmental medial misalignment of the knee. Participants in the experimental arm (Arm 1) receive the investigational device, the osteotomy gap is filled with Adaptos®Ortho Wedge bone graft substitute. Participants in the control arm (Arm 2) receive the OWHTO treatment, where the osteotomy gap is left empty (no bone graft). Participants in the comparator device arm (Arm 3) receive the OWHTO treatment, where the osteotomy gap is filled with chronOS® Wedge bone graft substitute. In all three groups the metallic fixation plate (TomoFix®) is used for load bearing and for stabilizing the defect. The study device chronOS® Wedge (DePuy Synthes) and TomoFix® (DePuy Synthes) are CE-marked. The products are used within the indication. The subject will be followed for twelve months following OWHTO.The radiological bone regeneration in the bony defect will be assessed at 6-weeks and 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-surgery.

Purpose

Interventions

Adaptos®Ortho Wedge (bone grafting surgery)DEVICE

After screening and enrollment, subjects will undergo medial knee open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with load bearing locking plate fixation. A synthetic bone graft will be used as a bone void filler in the osteotomy defect. Follow-up visits will be at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

OWHTO without bone graftingPROCEDURE

After screening and enrollment, subjects will undergo medial knee open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with load bearing locking plate fixation, without bone grafting. Follow-up visits will be at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Radiographic bone regeneration of the osteotomy defect, comparison between three treatment arms.

Radiographic bone regeneration assessments of the native x-ray of the standing anteroposterior (AP) radiographs of the knee, evaluated in the mediolaterally divided five zones of the osteotomized gap area (Brosset 2011), with rating of six bone remodeling phases (phases 0-5, with the score of 5 for the best outcome).The primary endpoint is the sum of the remodeling phase scores (0-5) in each of the five zones of the osteotomized gap area (range 0-25). Assessment longitudinally at 6-weeks and repeatedly at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-surgery. Primary evaluation is done 12 months after surgery.

Time frame: Change from baseline to 12 months.
