Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to compare fracture healing, quality of life, pain, and cost of care of the use of CERAMENTâ„¢|BONE VOID FILLER as bone graft substitute to the use of autologous cancellous bone graft (iliac crest) in the treatment of patients with tibia fractures treated by internal fixation and void reconstruction.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Occurence of adverse events, device complaints and device-related incidents Frequencies of subjects experiencing at least one adverse event (AE) will be displayed by body system and preferred term according to MedDRA terminology. Detailed information collected for each AE will include: a description of the event, duration, whether the AE was serious, intensity, relationship to trial device, action taken, clinical outcome. Summary tables will present the number of subjects observed with AEs and corresponding percentages.
Number of device complaints and device-related incidents (AE related to the trial device) respectively as well as the frequencies of occurences of these events in both groups will be calculated.
