Collagen scaffold for elbow cartilage repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a collagen scaffold to help heal damaged cartilage in the elbow joint. If you have a small cartilage tear that hasn't healed with rest or medication, this surgery-based treatment might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have a moderate to severe cartilage injury in your elbow (grade 3 or 4).
- The damaged area is between half a square centimeter and 2 square centimeters.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or below.
- You have tried treatments like rest or anti-inflammatory pills for at least 3 months without success.

This trial tests a surgery called microfracture (making tiny holes in the bone to help new cartilage grow) combined with a gel made from your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat a small ankle cartilage injury. The goal is to see if adding PRP gel improves healing and reduces pain.
This trial studies a surgery that uses your own tissue (bone/cartilage part) to repair a specific, advanced ankle cartilage injury (Hepple V) in the talus bone. It may help people with ongoing ankle pain when rest and anti-inflammatory treatments haven’t worked.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own bone marrow cells to grow a piece of tissue to repair damaged knee cartilage. It's for people with a single, medium-sized cartilage injury on the thigh bone part of the knee joint that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
This study tests whether lab-made cartilage can safely and effectively repair knee joint damage in adults. It may be an option if you have a cartilage defect from an injury or other cause and haven't had recent knee surgery.
This study tests a new platform to help repair damaged knee cartilage. If your knee has a specific type of cartilage damage, this treatment might help restore function and reduce pain.
This Phase 1 study tests whether an “AMIC” collagen-based treatment works better or safely than the standard microfracture procedure for a specific kind of hip cartilage injury. If you have ongoing hip pain from a cartilage defect (not arthritis), you may be able to join and receive one of these surgical treatments along with a study rehab plan.
