Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the technique of subchondroplasty in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the subchondroplasty technique with the administration of AccuFill Porous Bone Substitute Material (BSM) is effective in the relief of mechanical pain in patient with knee osteoarthritis ? Participants will go under a minimally invasive surgery procedure (subchondroplasty) and fulfil 3 validated questionnaires to assess pain, functional impairments and subjective improvement. This study will be conducted for 4 years.
Detailed description
Background : The technique of subchondroplasty is recent and was created to follow the availability of low-viscosity injectable phosphocalcic cement. It is aimed at osteoarthritic lesions and proposes to treat subchondral disease associated with the process of osteoarthritic degeneration, and which would be particularly painful in the support area. This technique seems interesting in terms of effectiveness with less risk since it is a minimally invasive percutaneous procedure and it is systematically practiced on an outpatient basis. In this context, the principal investigator has decided to conduct a long-term study for the first time in France in order to collect clinical data and data on the safety profile of the device. Design : This study is prospective, longitudinal, observational, single-arm, open monocentric and is a post-market study. Intervention : As the current study is observational, the study will follow the usual standard of care. The participation of the patient can be divided in 2 parts : * The first part is the treatment. After the inclusion of the patient, this latest will undergo a minimally invasive surgery procedure (subchondroplasty) to receive the treatment (AccuFill Porous Bone Substitute Material (BSM)). * The second part is the follow-up visits. During this part the patient will follow a appointment schedule with the doctor in order for the physicien to realised a clinical examination and for the patient to fulfil the 3 validated questionnaires. These visits will be spaced out over 4 years.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline (inclusion) in Patient-Reported Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to 3 months. | Month 3 | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression. It will helped the patient to assess the perceived mechanical knee pain on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 10 cm, ranging from very low (0) to very high (10) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline (inclusion) in International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score to each visits | Week 3, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48 | IKDC is a subjective knee evaluation form to detect improvement or deterioration in symptoms, function and sports activities due to knee impairment. This self-questionnaire is divided into three parts (symptoms, sports activities, function) and gives a score between 0 (worst) and 100 (best). |
| Change from baseline (inclusion) for the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to each visits | Week 3, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48 | KOOS is a knee-specific instrument, developed to assess the patient's opinion about their knee and associated problems. The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury. It contains 42 items divided into five subscales: KOOS Pain, KOOS Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living (KOOS ADL), Sport (KOOS Sport), and Quality of Life regarding the knee (KOOS QOL). Total scores can range from 0 to 100. |

It will helped the patient to assess the perceived mechanical knee pain on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 10 cm, ranging from very low (0) to very high (10). |
| Radiography and MRI evolution of the knee lesions from baseline (inclusion) to 24 months | Month 24 | Morphologic evolution of knee joint on MRI and radiography |
| Rate of conversion to prosthetic replacement | Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48 | Rate of patient who have to undergo to prosthetic replacement |
| Rate of adverse events | Week 3, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48 | To assess the rate of adverse events |
