Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Reconstitution of Bone Growth in the Iliac Crest Bone Void Determined by an Independent Radiologist
Reconstitution of bone growth was determined by an independent radiologist based on bony ingrowth and absence of a gap according to the following criteria: Absent: limited or no bone mineralization visualized at the defect site; extensive areas of radiolucency. Mild: identifiable bone mineralization and coalescence of the bone graft mass of < 50% of the defect site. Moderate: identifiable bone mineralization and coalescence of the bone graft mass over > 50% of the defect site; some remaining unmineralized areas of radiolucency; limited evidence of partial bone remodeling and trabeculation. Extensive: > 75% of bone mineralization over the defect site showing a contiguous and completely coalesced bone graft mass with confluent trabecular pattern.

Secondary Outcome Measures

General Health Status
The general health status was assessed by Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36v2). The SF-36v2 questionnaire contains 36 questions pertaining to eight subscales of health status. These eight subscales can be summarized as relating to either physical health or mental health. The physical component summary (PCS) is based primarily on the physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health scales of the SF-36v2 survey. The mental component summary (MCS) encompasses vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health scales. The score for PCS and MCS is between 0 and 100, with higher scores denoting better quality of life.
Oswestry Disability Index
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is an internationally validated questionnaire consisting of ten sets of statements which focus on pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and ability to travel. ODI scores are in a range of 0 to 100, with a lower score indicating less pain and disability and higher scores indicating more pain and disability.
Pain Status Assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The visual analog scale (VAS) was used for assessing pain status in the body locations of back/neck, left leg/arm, and right arm/leg. Subjects were asked to rate their perception of pain in VAS, generated by the Osteotech Clinical Department. The scale from 1 to 5 represented the pain levels at none, mild, average, severe, and extreme.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Plexur P grows bone in the iliac crest (where bone was removed or "harvested") for the back surgery. The study will be focusing on patients who require back surgery. Often additional bone is required from the hip of the patient (iliac crest). When bone removed from the hip, a "void" is often created. This "void" will be filled in with Osteotech's Plexur P product.
Detailed Description
This prospective trial is designed to evaluate the ability of the Plexur P device (bone void filler) to reconstitute the iliac crest in patients requiring iliac crest bone harvesting procedures at one single study site. Plexur P Bone Void Filler is: A biocomposite of mineralized cortical allograft bone fibers and polylactide-co-glycolide co-polymer. Designed to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Porosity is introduced into the Plexur P Biocomposites to create a cancellous-like structure that provides a scaffold for bone growth. In addition: Patients will be screened for study eligibility based on the need for iliac crest bone harvesting. Fifteen (15) eligible patients will be enrolled and will have an iliac crest harvesting defect backfilled with Plexur P to repair the iliac crest defect. As a part of routine follow up care, patient related outcomes including measurements of pain severity and pain relief will be determined using patient (IRB approved) questionnaires. Radiographic analysis will also be used to determine amount of bony ingrowth of the Plexur P device.
