Treatment of Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis With Engineered Cartilage.

The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to assess the efficacy of treating patellofemoral osteoarthritis with an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP), autologous nasal chondrocyte tissue engineered cartilage (N-TEC), in comparison with a standard therapy using platelet rich plasma injections. The engineered cartilage graft is obtained by culturing expanded autologous nasal chondrocytes within a collagen type I/III membrane.

Implantation of Engineered Cartilage Grafts for Treatment of Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis Versus Surgical Comparators.

ENCANTO is a randomized, controlled, multi-center phase II clinical trial for the treatment of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) with an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP), nasal chondrocyte-based tissue engineered cartilage (N-TEC) implantation in comparison with current standard of care depending on the stage of osteoarthritis. The goal of this phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy of N-TEC treatment in comparison to an active comparator Autologous Matrix Induced Chondrogenesis (AMIC) for early stage PFOA or patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) for late stage PFOA. The N-TEC engineered cartilage graft is obtained by culturing expanded autologous nasal chondrocytes within a collagen type I/III membrane.

Evaluation of the Patellar LIFT System for Subjects With Patellofemoral Cartilage Degeneration

The PELICAN study is a prospective, non randomized, dual arm, multi-center clinical study comparing clinical outcomes of subjects treated with the LIFT Implant System to subjects treated with Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO).

PRP Versus HA IN OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT

The aim of the study is to compare the 12-month clinical outcomes of patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis undergoing infiltrative treatment with fresh PRP and HA

Persona Ti-Nidium Post-Market Clinical Follow-up

The main objectives of this study are to evaluate overall clinical performance and safety of the Persona Ti-Nidium implant in total knee arthroplasty.

Failure Analysis of Patellofemoral Arthroplasty

The purpose of the retrospective cohort study is 1) to determine preoperative risk factors for revision af patellofemoral arthroplasty, and 2) to provide a detailed description of indications for revision after patellofemoral arthroplasty. All patients operated with patellofemoral arthroplasty in Denmark from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2015, will be included in the cohort.
