OP Device vs. Bone Autograft for the Treatment of Tibial Nonunions

June 9, 2011 updated by: Olympus Biotech Corporation

Study #91-01 - A Randomized Study of the Stryker OP Device vs. Bone Autograft for the Treatment of Tibial Nonunions

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OP device for the treatment of nonunion bone fractures and to compare the healing rates of the OP Device to that of autograft.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OP device for the treatment of nonunion bone fractures and to compare the clinical safety and effectiveness (healing rates) of the OP Device to that of traditional bone autografts to repair nonunions.

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients must show radiographic skeletal maturity
  2. Documented evidence of previous fracture management
  3. Nonunion in the tibia and candidate to receive bone autografts and intramedullary (IM) Nail fixation
