Fractures, Bone Clinical Trial
Official title:
Post Market Evaluation of Clinical Safety and Performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System
The goal of this observational study is to examine and confirm the clinical performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System in adult patients (21 years and older) who require lower-limb lengthening, fracture fixation and/or treatment for previous non-healing fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are their any unanticipated safety issues with the product when used in a real-world setting? 2. Does the product provide the anticipated clinical benefit when used in a real-world setting? Participants will have been selected by their physician to be treated with the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System as part of treatment for their condition or injury. All procedures will be according to the physician's standard care practices. There are no study-specific procedures or requirements for participants in this study.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - he/she has expressed his/her willingness, to participate in the Clinical Trial by signing and dating the informed consent (as required by IRB) - they have a limb length defect up to 8cm (without utilizing "rewind and go" option) or longer considered as suitable for correction with an intramedullary lengthening nail Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with conditions that tend to retard healing such as blood supply limitations, peripheral vascular disease or evidence of inadequate vascularity 2. Patients with poor bone quality that would prevent adequate fixation of the device 3. Patients with compromised capacity for healing 4. Patients with metal allergies and sensitivities 5. Patients in which the implant would cross open, healthy epiphyseal growth plates 6. Insufficient intramedullary space which would lead to cortical weakening or vascular damage during an implantation 7. Patients with a body weight of > 100 kg 8. No free access for proximal insertion of the intramedullary transport and lengthening nail (e.g. coxa valga) 9. No reliable exclusion of bone infection 10. Expected non-compliance, mentally ill patient or patient with clouded consciousness 11. Pregnancy 12. Patients with pre-existing nerve palsies 13. Patients with bone defects larger than 120 mm 14. Patients with Gustilo open fracture Classification Grade IIIB or IIIC fractures as it could result in a treatment failure in the intended population. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Safety - Device/procedure-related adverse events requiring re-operation or surgical revision. | Incidence of participants requiring unplanned re-operation or revision surgery. Specifically, adverse events consisting of re-operation/revision surgery deemed to be related to the device or procedure will be tabulated and the incidence will be determined by dividing this by the total number of patients treated (expressed as %). | 1 year | |
Primary | Performance - Final achieved lengthening/distraction (mm) as compared to pre-treatment target. | Incidence of participants in which successful attainment of target lengthening/distraction was obtained. Specifically, the outcome measure will be based on the difference between the physician's pre-specified target length/distraction to be obtained and the actual lengthening/distraction obtained following treatment. The physician will make a determination if this difference is acceptable for each subject. The incidence of successful lengthening will be determined by the number of clinical acceptable results divided by the total number of patients treated (expressed as %). | 1 year |
