What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Quality of cartilage growth
Time frame: 0 to 3 months
A Jamshidi needle biopsy will be obtained at 45 degrees in the area of maximum cartilage growth and analyzed for quality/type of cartilage if such growth is seen. -
Number of sections of medial condyle with loss, no change or growth of cartilage.
Time frame: 7.5 month mean
Arthroscopy of all 9 sections of the medial condyle for each of 6 knees will be viewed by each of 3 arthroscopers who will render their opinion for each section. They will compare sections from 1st and 2nd arthroscopy side by side, and will be asked to indicate loss of cartilage no change or growth of cartilage for each of sections on each of 6 knees.

Sponsor's own description
Dextrose injection in end-stage knee arthritis will cause growth of cartilage cells in a particular area of complete cartilage loss. Dextrose concentration will be 12.5%. Cartilage status will be monitored by pre and post treatment arthroscopy views with specialized (methylene blue) staining for cartilage.
