Following elevation of the articular surface during surgery, surgeons are frequently left with a metaphyseal void that must be filled to maintain reduction and prevent secondary collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Existing solutions, such as autograft, allograft, and conventional synthetic bone substitutes\u2014each have recognised limitations, including donor-site morbidity, inconsistent availability, brittleness, or suboptimal biological integration.<\/p>\n<p>OsStic<strong>\u2122<\/strong> has been developed to address these challenges. The material is designed to harden rapidly, conform to irregular defect geometries, and provide immediate mechanical support to the subchondral bone, while promoting bone ingrowth and remodelling over time.<\/p>\n<p>The forthcoming clinical investigation will be conducted at Leeds University Teaching Hospital in the United Kingdom, the Principal Investigator being Professor Peter Giannoudis.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Giannoudis commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Along with my colleagues, I am very excited to perform this first-in-human study at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. OsStic\u2122 represents a 5<\/em><sup><em>th<\/em><\/sup><em> generation biomaterial and its unique properties are expected to revolutionise patient care and outcomes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The primary objective of the study is to evaluate device safety, including early adverse events, implant-site reactions, and device-related complications. Secondary objectives include assessment of maintenance of fracture reduction, radiographic evidence of bone healing and remodelling, functional recovery, pain outcomes, quality of life, and exploratory gait analysis using plantar pressure mapping.<\/p>\n<p>Patient recruitment is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with study completion anticipated by 2028. The study is fully funded and sponsored by Biomimetic Innovations Ltd and represents an important step in building the clinical evidence base for OsStic<strong>\u2122<\/strong> ahead of future, larger comparative trials.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Burke, Managing Partner at PBC Biomed, said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are delighted to take this next step on the OsStic<\/em><strong><em>\u2122<\/em><\/strong><em> journey with our Principal Investigator Professor Giannoudis at the Leeds University Teaching Hospital. Through our Educational Platforms and Clinical Development Board, we have now taken OsStic<\/em><strong><em>\u2122<\/em><\/strong><em> to where it can truly impact patients&#8217; lives.
