The OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails are indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g., rigid fixation implants, cast, brace). The hypothesis is that the use of OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails for treating subchondral insufficiency of the knee will result in improvement of patient-reported outcomes and imaging findings. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of implanting bio-integrative OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails, organized in a bi-cortical rafter formation within the tibia or femur for the management of subchondral insufficiency. This use is not considered off-label because the TFNs are being used in the way they are intended to be used via FDA approval.

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)
The overall KOOS score combines pain and function domains. KOOS is out 100, where 0 equates to extreme pain and 100 equates to no pain.
Time frame: 3 months post-operatively
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scale Score (KOOS)
The overall KOOS score combines pain and function domains. KOOS is out 100, where 0 equates to extreme pain and 100 equates to no pain.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR.)
Measures the knee health of individuals following surgery
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form
IKDC measures: symptoms, athletic activity, and knee function.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
Veterans Rand-12 (VR-12) Health Survey Scale Score
VR-12 combines measures of general health perceptions, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical and emotional problems, bodily pain, fatigue , social functioning, and mental health
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
Numeric Pain Reported Scale Score
Measures a subject's perceived pain level. This score is usually on a scale of 0-10 with 0 equating to no pain and 10 equating to the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
PROMIS Pain Interference Score
Measures what level pain hinders a patient's engagement in several activities including social, cognitive, physical, and recreational activities. There are 7 sub items and each are rated from a scale of 0-10 where 0 means it does not interfere and 10 means it completely interferes. These contribute to a final score ranging anywhere from 0-70.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
PROMIS Depression Score
Measures self-reported negative mood (sadness, guilt), views of self (self- criticism, worthlessness), and social cognition (loneliness, interpersonal alienation), as well as decreased positive affect and engagement (loss of interest, meaning, and purpose). Each item on the measure is rated on a 5-point scale (1=never; 2=rarely; 3=sometimes; 4=often; and 5=always) with a range in score from 8 to 40. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
PROMIS Physical Function Score
Measures the level of physical function for patients with a wide variety of impairments that may limit the patient's physical capability. This score is on a scale from 0-100 with 0 equating to no physical function and 100 equating to optimal physical function.
Time frame: 6 months post-operatively
Incidence Assessments
Assessment of the incidence of re-operations, revision surgeries, or additional management of the study knee outside of postoperative rehabilitation.
Time frame: Up to 24 month post-operatively.
Degree of knee ligament healing
To see how the knee ligament is healing by MRI assessment.
Time frame: 6, 12, and 24 months
