Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Knee Distraction Device Commercial brand name: not available  The Knee Distraction Device is an internal fixation device, with plates implanted in contact with the femur and tibia, and screws fixing them to the bones. The device is intended to maintain the articulation in a distracted position during a period of six weeks. There are two shapes (straight and curved) for the tibial plate and two sizes (size 1 and size 2) for the femoral plate. IIb (rule 8: implantable devices, not included in the exemptions listed in rule 8) according to the Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices.

Brief Summary   KJD is a joint-preserving treatment for patients under 65 suffering from KOA, where the knee joint is temporarily fully unloaded by the distraction of the tibia and the femur with an external fixator over several weeks. This approach reduces mechanical constraints on the joint by spreading out the arthritic joint surfaces (damaged cartilage). It induces a cascade of molecular signals (growth factors, cytokines, etc.) that stimulate the biological process of cartilage reconstruction (chondrogenesis). Good clinical results include long-term pain reduction, improvement in functional scores with non-inferiority criteria at two years compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), cartilage regrowth, and delayed TKA. However, KJD is associated with patient discomfort and a high rate of peri-operative infection due to external fixators.The KDD aims to scientifically validate this new joint distraction approach without external fixators via the use of a subcutaneous implant to deliver results in terms of patient pain relief and assess the safety of the device. Therefore, this clinical study aims to reproduce the distraction procedure described in the literature using the same joint surface spreading principle and intra-articular kinematics. Theoretically, this approach minimises the impact of the procedure on the patient, with better recovery and less impact in the postoperative period.
