Study of Suture Repair of Torn Meniscus in the Knee — STITCH  

Meniscus Tear Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective, Non-randomized, Multi-Center Investigation of All-suture-based Repair of Horizontal Meniscal Tears (STITCH Study)

Clinical Trial Summary

Horizontal meniscus tears meeting specified criteria will be repaired by any commonly used suture technique. Subjects will be followed for 2 years to evaluate the effectiveness of the repair, by assessing the re-operation rate, and by assessing improvements in knee pain and knee function.

Clinical Trial Description

Potential subjects will undergo Screening for eligibility based on Inclusion/Exclusion criteria. Screening will include an x-ray of the injured knee and evaluation of an MRI of the injured knee within 6 months prior to the scheduled procedure. During the procedure, the meniscal tear will be evaluated by arthroscopy to determine if the tear meets study requirements. If the meniscal tear is determined to meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, the subject will be considered enrolled. If any inclusion/exclusion criteria is not met, the subject will be considered a screen failure and will not be enrolled. For enrolled subjects, specific information regarding the repair and repair technique will be collected during the procedure, including still and video images. Subjects will be contacted 7-15 days post-procedure for safety follow-up. Subjects will return for follow-up visits at approximately post-procedure Days 90, 185, 365 and 730. Identical questionnaires will be completed at each visit to assess knee pain and knee function. Safety information will be collected at each post-procedure visit. Additionally, an in-office arthroscopy of the treated knee will be performed at participating sites at Day 185, an MRI of the treated knee will be performed at Day 365 and an X-ray of the treated knee will be performed at Day 730. The patient will exit the study at the Day 730 visit. ;
