Brief summary

The MegaCarti® is the decellularized allogeneic cartilage and acts as a cover after bone marrow stimulation to prevent the loss of blood clots and induces cartilage regeneration by assisting in the location of stem cells derived from bone marrow. During the 48-week confirmatory clinical trial of MegaCarti®, patients who simultaneously underwent high tibial osteotomy(HTO) were treated with a group in which MegaCarti® was implanted after microfracture and a group in which microfracture alone was performed. Cartilage regeneration is evaluated in patients with arthroscopy data at the time of fixation removal surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of the ICRS-Cartilage Repair Assessment grade-Overall repair assessmentWhen removing fixtures after HTO (an average of 1 year after surgery)Primary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\]
Comparison of macroscopic status of regenerated cartilageWhen removing fixtures after HTO (an average of 1 year after surgery)Primary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\]

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of KOOS scoreAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\], Higher scores mean a better outcome
Comparison of WOMAC scoreAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\], Higher scores mean a worse outcome
Comparison of IKDC scoreAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\], Higher scores mean a better outcome
Comparison of HKA angle, Posterior Tibial slopeAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\]
Comparison of Kellgren-Lawrence gradeAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\]
Comparison of VAS scoreAt last visit (an average of two years after surgery)Secondary Endpoint \[experimental group / control group\], Higher scores mean a worse outcome
