The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives Objective: The purpose of this multi-center post-approval study is to meet the conditions of the PMA approval for the H3 TAR, to evaluate the trends in performance among implant sizes, and to assess the outcomes of the primary surgeon of the premarket study that supported PMA approval, compared to other surgeons that are less familiar with the device. Design: Prospective multicenter single arm post approval study with data supplementation from the UK National Joint Registry (UK NJR).
Study Population Patients who have discussed options for management of a painful arthritic ankle joint due to primary osteoarthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, or arthritis secondary to inflammatory disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, hemochromatosis, etc.), and who have decided to undergo total ankle replacement, are candidates for this study.
Sample Size US Population: 94 subjects/ 10 Clinical Sites
UK Population: 407 subjects / 45 Clinical Sites
Key Study Endpoints Primary Endpoints for US population:
• Survivorship (absence of revision to metal components only)
• Survivorship (absence of revision to metal and polyethylene components)
Additional Endpoints for US population:
• American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score at 2 years or more
• Percentage of subjects with a serious device related adverse event, other than a revision or removal within 2 years
• Incidence, occurrence, and types of serious device related adverse events
• Nature, onset, duration, severity, relationship to the device, relationship to the operative procedure, and outcome of any adverse event
• Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score
• Subjects Satisfaction Surverys
• SF-36
• Radiographs (loosening, osteolysis, implant migration, other findings)
• Explant analysis
UK population:
• Survivorship (absence of revision to metal components only)
• Survivorship (absence of revision to metal and polyethylene components)
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up 5 years
Interim or Final Data Summary
Interim Results Safety Results:
US data: Twenty-six (26) operative site events representing 29.2% (26/89), and eight (8) systemic events representing 9% (8/89) were reported. There have been three (3) revisions and five (5) removals. No deaths have occurred since the study started.
UK Registry data: There have been twenty-eight (28) reported revision surgeries in this cohort.

Effectiveness Results:
US data: AOFAS Alignment Score patients rated fair/good: at baseline 70.7% (58/82), 6-week 95.2% (60/63), 24-week 100% (45/45), 1-year 100% (12/12), and 2-year 100% (2/2).

Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 101 US subjects/ 407 UK subjects
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 13 US subjects / 45 UK sites
Patient Follow-up Rate US data: Follow-up rate (All data available per protocol) is 56.8% (50/88) at 6 weeks, 48.6% (36/74) at 24 weeks, 18.6% (8/43) at 1-year, and 50% (1/2) at 2-year.
UK Registry data: The Kaplan-Meier estimate of survivorship at 5 years is 94.5% with a 95% confidence interval of (91.5%, 96.5%). At 10 years, the Kaplan-Meier estimate of survivorship is 91.3% with a 95% confidence interval of (87.4%, 94.0%).
