Brief summary

Prospective, multi-site, multi-year post-market clinical follow-up study on neuropathic patients treated/implanted with SALVATION™ External Fixation, SALVATION™ Fusion Bolts and Beams, SALVATION™ Midfoot Nail, The SALVATION™ 3Di Plating System, VALOR™ NAIL, HOFFMANN® LRF SYSTEM and/or T2® ICF SYSTEM of 200 patients with up to 10 sites

Detailed description

The selected design is a US, multi-center, multi-year, non-randomized, prospective observational study. The study subjects included are neuropathic patients treated/implanted with SALVATION™ External Fixation, SALVATION™ Fusion Bolts and Beams, SALVATION™ Midfoot Nail, The SALVATION™ 3Di Plating System, VALOR™ NAIL, HOFFMANN® LRF SYSTEM and/or T2® ICF SYSTEM of 200 patients with up to 10 sites.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Survival Analysis of Implants at 1 Year1 yearsCompare the pooled cumulative 3-year amputation (above or below the knee) rate of neuropathic patients implanted with SALVATION™ External Fixation, SALVATION™ Fusion Bolts and Beams, SALVATION™ Midfoot Nail, The SALVATION™ 3Di Plating System, VALOR™ NAIL, HOFFMANN® LRF SYSTEM and/or T2® ICF SYSTEM derived from a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to a performance goal.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
EQ-5D-5L- Index1 yearEvaluate improvements in patient-reported pain, function, and social interaction for quality of life from pre-op through each annual visit as assessed by the EQ-5D-5L and its component scores. Health state index scores generally range from less than 0 to 1 with higher scores indicating higher health utility. The health state preferences often represent national or regional values and can therefore differ between countries/regions.
FAAM-ADL1 yearsThe FAAM has been shown to be valid and responsive in assessing diabetic foot disease and includes 2 subscales: Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Subscale (21 items) and Sports Subscale (8 items). For each subscale patients are asked to answer each question with a single response that most clearly describes their condition within the past week: no difficulty (4 points), slight difficulty (3 points), moderate difficulty (2 points), extreme difficulty (1 point), and unable to do (0 points). To calculate the score for either subscale, the total number of points are added (84 for the ADL subscale and 32 for the sports subscale) and converted to a percentage. A higher score reflects a higher level of physical function.
Survival Analysis of Implants at 5 Years5 yearsCompare the pooled cumulative 5-year amputation (above or below the knee) rate of neuropathic patients implanted with SALVATION™ External Fixation, SALVATION™ Fusion Bolts and Beams, SALVATION™ Midfoot Nail, The SALVATION™ 3Di Plating System, VALOR™ NAIL, HOFFMANN® LRF SYSTEM and/or T2® ICF SYSTEM derived from a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to a performance goal.
Radiographic Assessment5 yearsAssess fusion and consolidation time of bony unions utilizing surgeon's evaluations of standard of care x-rays
EQ-5D-5L-VAS1 YearThe second part of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire consists of a visual analogue scale (VAS) on which the patient rates his/her perceived health from 0 (the worst imaginable health) to 100 (the best imaginable health).

Outcome results

Primary

Survival Analysis of Implants at 1 Year

Compare the pooled cumulative 3-year amputation (above or below the knee) rate of neuropathic patients implanted with SALVATION™ External Fixation, SALVATION™ Fusion Bolts and Beams, SALVATION™ Midfoot Nail, The SALVATION™ 3Di Plating System, VALOR™ NAIL, HOFFMANN® LRF SYSTEM and/or T2® ICF SYSTEM derived from a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to a performance goal.

Time frame: 1 years

Population: Given the early termination of the study the device failure analysis is through to 1 year as opposed to 3 years. 42 Subjects received the study device(s).

Health state index scores generally range from less than 0 to 1 with higher scores indicating higher health utility.

To calculate the score for either subscale, the total number of points are added (84 for the ADL subscale and 32 for the sports subscale) and converted to a percentage. A higher score reflects a higher level of physical function.

Time frame: 1 years

Population: The patient did not complete the Sports subscale post-operatively due to physician instructions to avoid those types of activities, so FAAM results reflect the ADL subscore exclusively. A total of 7 out of 42 subjects had available data at the 1 year time point for FAAM-ADL.
