Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft injection for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection.

Detailed description

It is a prospective, double blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial study. Data will be prospectively collected of all injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft knee performed at our institute (1 vs 2 mL). 60 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 in treatment arms. Each of the patient will be treated with one time injection to the knee. Methods for collecting data will be through validated patient-reported outcome tools (KOOS, VAS and WOMAC questionnaire) that the patient will complete pre-injection and at specified time intervals after injection: 90 days, 180 days and 365 days.

Interventions

Injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft (NuDYN) through routine follow-up with physical examination, pain, function and quality of life measurements and compare dose effects (1 mL versus 2 mL of NuDYN injection) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Intervention model description

Data will be prospectively collected on all injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft knee performed at our institute. Inclusion criteria will be all patients age between 21 and 80 years with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) defined as Grade 1 to 3 on the Kellgren Lawrence grading scale. Methods for collecting data will be through validated patient-reported outcome tools that the patient will complete pre-injection and at specified time intervals after injection: 90 days, 180 days and 365 days.
