BioPoly implant for knee cartilage repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a BioPoly implant to repair a small damaged cartilage spot in your knee. If you have a specific type of cartilage injury that didn't get better with other treatments, this implant may help relieve pain and improve function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 65 years old.
- You have a damaged cartilage spot (a defect) on the weight-bearing part of your thigh bone (femoral condyle) or on the groove where your kneecap slides (trochlea).
- The damaged area is no larger than about the size of a nickel (3.1 cm²), and the surrounding cartilage is healthy.
- You have tried at least 2 months of non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy, injections, or anti-inflammatory meds) or had a prior knee surgery more than 12 months ago, and it didn't work.
- You do not have severe arthritis (bone-on-bone), a BMI of 35 or higher, or other major knee problems (like a torn meniscus or loose ligaments).
