ReGen Biologics Data Presented in San Diego



    Data derived from ReGen Biologics' pivotal meniscus implant trial
    was presented last week during the American Academy of Orthopaedic
    Surgeons (AAOS) meeting.

    The podium presentation, "New Tissue Generated by the Collagen
    Meniscus Implant (CMI) Leads to Increased Activity Levels After Two
    Years," was given during Specialty Day, a day set aside for programs
    produced by the Board of Specialty Societies. It was part of an AOSSM
    (American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine) scientific session
    focused on the meniscus.

    The panel was moderated by Kurt Spindler, M.D. of Nashville and
    co-moderated by Benjamin Shaffer, M.D. of Washington, D.C. The CMI
    data, authored by William Rodkey, DVM and Karen Briggs, MPh, showed a
    significant correlation between change (increase) in Tegner activity
    levels over 2 years and percent total meniscus tissue in patients who
    receive the CMI implant and have greater than 50% total meniscus
    tissue.

    The study confirms the importance of preserving as much meniscus
    tissue as possible at the time of meniscus treatment, and supports the
    potential positive benefits of using the CMI as a scaffold to allow
    the patient's own tissue to fill the void left by partial
    meniscectomy. A copy of the abstract can be found on the ReGen
    Biologics website at http://www.regenbio.com/en/news/default.mspx,
    within the AAOS event listing.

    With more than 29,000 members, the American Academy of Orthopaedic
    Surgeons (www.aaos.org) is the premier not-for-profit organization
    that provides education programs for orthopaedic surgeons and allied
    health professionals, champions the interests of patients and advances
    the highest quality musculoskeletal health. Orthopaedic surgeons and
    the Academy are the authoritative sources of information for patients
    and the general public on musculoskeletal conditions, treatments and
    related issues. This year's meeting had a pre-registration of over
    10,400 physicians, including nearly 3000 from outside the United
    States.
