Clinical Trials Olufemi R. Ayeni, MD, PhD, FRCSC is currently running
AMIC Surgery
for Hip Cartilage Injury
This is a pilot multi-centre RCT of 40 patients (ages 18-55 years, inclusive) undergoing primary hip arthroscopy with a focal articular cartilage defect of the acetabulum to compare the effect of using autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) in comparison to microfracture on hip function, health-related quality of life, hip pain, cartilage regeneration, health utility, and any adverse events at 2 years. Follow-up will occur at 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months post-surgery.

Quadriceps vs. Hamstring Autograft
for ACL Rupture
To date, the use of the quadriceps tendon as an autograft option in primary paediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not been well studied. The 2018 International Olympic Committee (IOC) Consensus Statement now outlines the quadriceps tendon as a possible autograft option. However, no Randomised Control Trial (RCT) has examined the efficacy of the quadriceps tendon autograft in primary paediatric ACL reconstruction compared to the historical "gold-standard" soft-tissue hamstring autograft in this population. In light of its evidence for favourable outcomes in the adult population, and the (albeit limited) evidence showing safety and promise in the paediatric population, clinical equipoise exists for assessing its impact on outcomes in paediatric patients at the index surgery. This trial aims to demonstrate feasibility of a global RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of soft-tissue quadriceps versus hamstring autograft tendons on re-operation, return to sport, and knee function among paediatric patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction.
