Study Design: Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Observational Studies, Prospective, Multicenter, to Evaluate the Effect of Treatment of Knee Osteochondral Lesions of Outerbridge Grade III-IV

Further study details as provided by Ettore Sansavini Health Science Foundation:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Score [ Time Frame: 12 months post procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Primary outcome measure will be the outcome of innovative treatments with repairing, regenerative and replacement techniques, with or without associated osteotomy, of knee osteochondral severe lesions(Outerbridge grade III and IV) in terms of symptoms improvement as assessed by means of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective Knee Evaluation Score at 12 months postoperatively.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • functional recovery at International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC) knee Examination [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Physical performance at Tegner activity score [ Time Frame: 12 months post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • functional activity on the Lysholm Knee Scale [ Time Frame: 12 months post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Tissue regeneration at magnetic resonance (MRI) [ Time Frame: 12 months post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
