Active clinical trials for "Osteochondritis Dissecans"

The purpose of the study is to determine if by using MRI changes can be identified changes early on in the knees of young children that may be at risk for developing osteochondritis dissecans. If MRI can identify changes then better council can be offered about the risks of future activity and treatment options.

A case-series review was performed on five collegiate athletes with osteochondral lesions of the knee at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). All subjects received surgical intervention to treat the defect. The surgeries performed were either an Osteoarticular Transfer System (OATS) procedure and/or a Microfracturing procedure. Subjects were treated post-operatively by the CSUN team physical therapist and/or athletic trainers at CSUN. This paper seeks to provide information about osteochondral defects of the knee, the surgical interventions, and a protocol for post-operative treatment and rehabilitation of such injuries.

The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to collect long-term outcomes for DeNovo NT Graft treatment of articular cartilage lesions in the ankle in a standard clinical setting. Outcomes to be assessed include pain, function, activity levels and healthcare resource use.

Osteochondritis dissecans is a relatively common...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of DeNovo NT, a tissue product used for the repair of cartilage damage in the knee. This product has been on the market since 2007 and implanted in more than 10,000 patients around the country.
