IlluminOss for Pelvic Fractures

This study is looking at how well the IlluminOss pelvic implant works for people with certain types of pelvic fractures. This includes those with cancer that has spread to the pelvis (metastatic cancer) causing pain or a risk of fracture, or those who already have a small fracture. It also includes older patients (65 or older) with pelvic fragility fractures. The IlluminOss implant is already approved by the FDA, and your doctor would have decided you need it as part of your standard care. Researchers will ask you about your pain and how well you can do daily activities to see if the implant helps reduce pain and improve function. The study aims to enroll 100 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information about patients who are already receiving the IlluminOss pelvic implant. It is not a randomized study, and the phase is not specified.
What's involved
You will be asked to complete surveys about your outcomes from before your surgery up to two years afterward.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to two years after surgery.

  • Survey of patient-reported outcomesPre-operatively through 2 years after surgery

    Patients treated with the IlluminOss pelvic implant will be given functional and pain surveys pre-operatively (within 2 weeks before surgery) and post-operatively (at 2 days, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years). 100 patients will be included in the study. The surveys include the VAS Pain, the EQ-VAS, the Combined Pain and Ambulatory Function, the PROMIS Pain Inteference, and the PROMIS Physical Function. Additionally, the MSTS survey will be collected for oncologic patients. If needed, the surveys will be mailed to the patient with a pre-stamped and pre-addressed envelope. When mailing patients MSTS surveys, we will include a set of instructions to guide participants through the questions.
