Collagen scaffold for elbow cartilage repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a collagen scaffold to help repair damaged cartilage in the elbow. It might help people with a specific size of cartilage injury who haven't improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have a cartilage injury in your elbow that is moderate to severe (grade III or IV).
- The injury is about the size of a small coin (0.5 to 2 square centimeters).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- You have tried conservative treatments like rest or anti-inflammatory medications for at least 3 months without success.
- You are not allergic to pig products and can have an MRI.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 implant made from your own cells to repair damaged knee cartilage. It aims to reduce pain and improve knee function by replacing the damaged area with a living implant.
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.
