INJECTABLE DEHYDRATED HUMAN AMNION/CHORION MEMBRANE (dHACM) IN THE TREATMENT OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS Methods Conclusions To our knowledge, these data represents the largest single-physician experience with injectable amniotic tissue in the treatment of knee OA to date. In our experience, injectable dHACM appears to be a potentially useful treatment option for patients with knee OA. Further controlled studies are required to confirm these observations. Data from 82 patients with 100 treated knees were included for analysis. Of these 82 patients, the majority were female (51/82, 62%). Mean age at treatment was 61.6 ± 10.6 years, median age of 58.0 years with an age range of 36-89 years. Overall mean KOOS score for the cohort was 40 at baseline, improving to 52, 62 and 65 at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-dHACM injection. (Table 1) Within 6 weeks of dHACM injection all areas of assessment in the KOOS sub-scale had an improvement of mean score by greater than 10 points signifying meaningful positive clinical change. By 6 months, differences of 24.8-30 points were observed in all sub-categories. Study Design In a retrospective study design, data were abstracted from the electronic medical records of 82 OA patients and 100 knees injected with 100 mg dHACM by a single physician, over a 14-month period. Data collected included age, gender, adverse events and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) scores routinely recorded at baseline and 6 weeks, and 3 and 6 months, post-treatment. Treatment with Injectable dHACM Treatment consisted of an injection of 100 mg of dHACM, suspended in 3 ml of 0.9% sterile normal saline performed by the primary author. Prior to injection, local anesthesia was achieved by injection of 2 mls of 0.5% Marcaine in the subcutaneous tissue. The dHACM allograft was injected through a 22 gauge needle with ultrasound guidance. Patients were instructed to stop all NSAIDs post injection. Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) In the KOOS scale used in this evaluation, 0 represents the worst situation (extreme problems with item assessed), while 100 is an ideal situation (no problems with item assessed). Effectiveness of dHACM treatment was measured by serial KOOS scores at 6 weeks, and 3 and 6 months. An improvement in KOOS score of at least 10 points is considered to represent meaningful positive clinical change. To present our clinical experience using micronized dHACM injection as a treatment for symptomatic knee OA. Results Percent increases in KOOS scores were 32%, 56% and 65% respectively. (Table 2) The largest improvements at 6 months were in the quality of life and sports/recreation domains, 111% and 118% respectively. Pain scores improved by 67% at 6 months. All scores improved throughout the observation period. Short term pain or soreness around the knee post-injection was a common observation. No serious or ongoing, unresolved adverse events were observed in this cohort. Retrospective study provided insight into potential for reducing pain and improving function Kris Alden, MD, PhD, Hinsdale Orthopaedics, Hinsdale, IL Purpose
