Study summary

This is a retrospective, two-arm study reviewing the healing of cavitary defects in patients treated with Vitoss alone versus those treated with Vitoss with bone marrow aspirate (BMA). There will be a prospective follow-up visit at 24+ months to evaluate lont-term healing in patients identified during the retrospective portion of the study. It is thought that the inclusion of BMA will facilitate the resorption of the graft material, leading to better long-term bone healing.

Groups and cohorts

  • Vitoss Bone Graft with BMA

    Patients with a benign bone lesion of the extremity or pelvis for which surgical curettage age was recommended and who received Vitoss bone graft with BMA to fill the cavity.

    Device: Vitoss

  • Vitoss bone graft

    Patients with a benign bone lesion of the extremity or pelvis for which surgical curettage was recommended and who received Vitoss bone graft to fill the cavity.

    Device: Vitoss

Interventions

  • DeviceVitoss

    Vitoss is a synthetic calcium-based bone void filler made of beta-tricalcium phosphate.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Vitoss resorption into the native bone as observed via CT

    Percentage of Vitoss resorption into the native bone will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively

Secondary outcomes

  1. Presence of graft within the soft tissue as observed by CT

    Presence of the graft within the soft tissue will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively

  2. Presence of a rim of radiolucency surrounding the grafted defect as observed by CT

    Presence of a rim of radiolucency surrounding the grafted defect will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively

  3. Size of the defect as observed by CT

    The size of the defect will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively

  4. Bone trabeculation through the defect as observed by CT

    Bone trabeculation through the defect will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively

  5. Persistence of graft material through the lesion as observed by CT

    Persistence of graft material through the lesion will be retrospectively recorded in the Case Report Form at the 6 week, 3, 6, 12 and 18 month timepoints based on review of x-rays as well.

    Time frame: minimum of 24 months post-operatively
