Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of AUGMENT® Bone Graft Compared to Autologous Bone Graft

A Prospective, Controlled, Multi-Center, Post-Approval Trial to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of AUGMENT® Bone Graft Compared to Autologous Bone Graft as a Bone Regeneration Device in Foot and Ankle Fusions

The objective of this long-term study is to evaluate the long term effectiveness and safety of AUGMENT® Bone Graft vs. autologous bone graft. The study involves evaluation of subjects originally treated under Protocol BMTI-2006-01.

Subjects will be asked to consent and return to provide long-term follow-up data at or after 60 months (5 years) have elapsed since their original surgery as a subject in protocol BMTI-2006-01.

STUDY HYPOTHESIS: The effectiveness and safety profile for AUGMENT® Bone Graft is maintained and remains comparable to that of autologous bone graft over long-term subject follow-up.

REGULATORY PHASE: Post-approval study

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects who meet the following criteria may be included in the study:

1. Must be willing and able to provide informed consent and be available for the planned follow-up evaluations and radiologic tests; and
2. Must have been randomized, treated and included in the safety population of Protocol BMTI-2006-01 (see Exhibit 13.1).

Exclusion Criteria:

1) Subjects that were excluded from the safety analysis in the BMTI-2006-01 study (subjects not listed in Exhibit 13.1). These subjects were consented, but never treated as part of the BMTI-2006-01 protocol.
