Scientific titleA multicentre, randomised and comparative clinical study of the efficacy and safety of Ostem™ (autologous cultured osteoblasts) injection to treat fractures
Study objectivesTo accelerate fracture healing, ultrasound and other diverse treatment methods have recently been introduced. In particular, cell therapy suggests a new treatment approach. When using Ostem™ (autologous cultured osteoblasts) rather than bone grafts, problems may develop in the donor area in general autologous bone grafts and immunological problems may develop in allograft, although problems involving the spread of disease are less frequent and a faster patient recovery may be achieved when using Ostem™ (autologous cultured osteoblasts).

The hypothesis for this trial is that patients who implant Ostem™ (autologous cultured osteoblasts) will improve.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLong bone fracture
InterventionAll patients will receive standardised first fracture surgery (closed or open reduction). At enrolment patients are randomised to receive either injection (intervention group) or observation (control group).

Intervention group: approximately eight weeks after the first open or closed reduction, this group will receive Ostem™ (autologous cultured osteoblasts)
Control group: approximately eight weeks after the first open or closed reduction, this group will be observed but no other treatments performed.

Total duration of follow-up for both treatment arms is two months.
