Clinical Trial Summary

Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.

Description:

This is a ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series. Data collection will occur in two phases. Retrospective data collection will occur upon subject identification, and data will be collected from the site's medical records for minimum of 50 subjects who have undergone soft tissue to bone fixation with the Grappler® Interference Screw System. Data will be collected from the subjects' pre-op visits, intra-op visits, 7 week post-op follow-up visits (± 4 weeks), and 6 month post-op follow-up visits (± 4 weeks). The subject must have adequate radiographic and medical records for the minimum follow up requirement of 6 months. Prospective data collection will occur upon subject's provision of written informed consent, and data will be collected from patient reported outcomes (PRO's).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of revisions	Safety will be assessed by recording the incidence of revisions. The relationship of events will be attributed to either the implant or instrumentation.	6 Months Post-Op
Primary	Incidence of adverse events	Safety will be assessed by recording the incidence of adverse events. The relationship of events will be attributed to either the implant or instrumentation.	6 Months Post-Op
Primary	Incidence of complications	Safety will be assessed by recording the incidence of complications. The relationship of events will be attributed to either the implant or instrumentation.	6 Months Post-Op
Secondary	Rate of recurrence of deformity	Safety as related to rate of recurrence of deformity	7 Weeks Post-Op, 6 Months Post-Op
Secondary	Rate of implant failure	Safety as related to rate of implant failure	Intra-Op, 7 Weeks Post-Op, 6 Months Post-Op
Secondary	Rate of re-tear or re-rupture of fixated soft tissue	Safety as related to rate of re-tear or re-rupture of fixated soft tissue	7 Weeks Post-Op, 6 Months Post-Op
Secondary	Rate of screw removal	Safety as related to rate of screw removal	7 Weeks Post-Op, 6 Months Post-Op
Secondary	Foot and Ankle Mobility Measure	Device performance and benefits as related to Foot and Ankle Mobility Measure Activities of Daily Living (0-84) and sports (0-32) subscales. The higher the score, the higher the level of function, with 100% representing no dysfunction.	6 months post-operative
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	Device performance and benefits as related to pain levels based on the Visual Analog Scale (range: 0 to 100; 0 = no pain; 100 = worst pain imaginable)	6 months post-operative
Secondary	Patient satisfaction	Device performance and benefits as related to patient satisfaction (very satisfied, good, fair, not satisfied)	6 months post-operative
