Official title
The Hyalex First-in-Human Study - A Prospective, Single-Arm, Feasibility Study of the HYALEX SLALOM MTP Hemiarthroplasty Implant
Overview
The HYALEX SLALOM MTP Hemiarthroplasty System consists of a synthetic implant designed to replace the distal metatarsal surface of the great toe for treatment of arthritis . The system is composed of the HYALEX MTP Implant and instrumentation. The implant consists of the HYALEX Cartilage material bonded to a titanium backing.
Interventions
- Device MTP Hemiarthroplasty
Implant
Primary outcome measures
- Freedom from implant rejection, infection [Time frame: Through 12 months]
- Improvement in VAS pain [Time frame: 12 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- 21-75 years;
- Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤ 38;
- Degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis of the first metatarsal joint with ICRS grade 2, 3, or 4;
- Pre-operative VAS pain score of >40;
- Presence of good bone stock, without need for bone graft
Exclusion criteria
- Known allergy to polyurethanes, bone cement, acrylic, or titanium;
- Due to anatomy and/or lesion location, inability to position the implant flush or slightly proud relative to the articular surface precluding proper device placement;
- Lack of 2mm of vital bone on all sides of implant site;
- Cartilage lesions on the phalanx of ICRS Grade 3 - 4 opposite the lesion intended for treatment;
- Additional ipsilateral lower limb (hip, knee, ankle, or foot) pathology that requires active treatment (e.g., surgery, brace);
- Bilateral degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis of the MTP joints that would require simultaneous treatment of both MTP joints;
- Previous cheilectomy resulting in inadequate bone stock;
- Diagnosis of gout;
- Hallux varus to any degree or hallux valgus >20;
- Hyper mobility at proximal metatarsal joint;
- Interphalangeal angle >15
