Overview
This multicenter prospective patient registry was developed with the aim of documenting how orthopedic surgeons are utilizing the NanoBone products in acute trauma cases along with relevant patient outcomes. These outcomes include radiographic measures such as fracture healing, instrumentation integrity, and clinical outcomes (symptom and function improvement) based on investigator and patient-based outcome assessments.
Description
This multicenter prospective patient registry was developed with the aim of documenting how orthopedic surgeons are utilizing the NanoBone products in acute trauma cases along with relevant patient outcomes. These outcomes include radiographic measures such as fracture healing, instrumentation integrity, and clinical outcomes (symptom and function improvement) based on investigator and patient-based outcome assessments.
The primary objective of this study is to document and analyze the use of NanoBone products in acute trauma cases (as a stand-alone bone graft, or in combination with local bone only, no other bone graft substitute or biologic product used) and determine both radiographic success and clinical outcomes. All product related adverse events will be documented, tabulated, and summarized.
