Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Agilus is safe and effective in the treatment of mild to moderate ankle osteoarthritis.
Detailed description
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of Agilus to a saline injection (control) in the treatment of mild to moderate ankle osteoarthritis. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, saline controlled, prospective study with two (2) treatment groups. The active group will receive one injection of Agilus per week for three consecutive weeks for a total of three injections. The control group will receive one injection of normal saline per week for three consecutive weeks for a total of three injections. Follow up visits will occur at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 26 weeks following the third injection.
Interventions
Hyaluronic acid (Agilus)given by an intra-articular injection into the ankle for a total of 3 injections for 3 consecutive weeks.
Normal Saline given by an intra-operative injection into the ankle for a total of 3 injections for 3 consecutive weeks.
