Long-term follow-up of knee cartilage implant patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks on people who got an Actifit meniscal scaffold (a device to help replace damaged knee cartilage) at least 4 years ago, to see how they are doing over time. It is a follow-up study, not a new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had irreparable, painful, or poorly functioning meniscus (cartilage) loss and had a partial meniscectomy (removal of part of the meniscus).
- Your knee was properly aligned (or correctable) and stable (or fixation done).
- You had no more than 3 previous meniscus surgeries on the same knee.
- You were between 16 and 50 years old at the time of the surgery.
- You received the Actifit implant at least 4 years ago.
- You are willing to participate in this long-term follow-up study.

This study looks at how well meniscus transplants work over time — including how long the graft lasts and how it protects knee cartilage. It may be a good fit if you are getting your first or a repeat meniscus transplant, sometimes along with other knee repairs.
This trial tests a donated human meniscus implant (Spongioflex®) for people who have lost part of the wedge-shaped cushion in their knee and have pain on that side. The goal is to replace the missing piece and relieve pain, helping you avoid or delay more serious surgery.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent knee pain after a partial meniscectomy using a tissue graft to replace the missing meniscus – either the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus. It may help people whose knee pain continues months after their first surgery.
This trial tests a special sleeve designed to help reduce pain and improve recovery after knee surgery for a torn meniscus. It may be a good option if you are having this type of knee surgery and are in generally good health.
This study follows people who had CartiONE treatment for a knee cartilage lesion more than 6 months ago. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is over 1 to 13 years.
