Study Summary

This study is a registry of general use of Avance Nerve Graft and is intended to evaluate the uses, response rates, and safety of Avance Nerve Graft in the real-life clinical setting. Optional addendums 1 and 2 included in the protocol are intended to establish comparative groups and focused subgroups within the registry.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Primary Study Criteria (RANGER Avance):

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males and Females who have undergone nerve repair using the Avance® Nerve Graft forthe repair of a nerve injury

  • Returned for at least one post-operative follow-up visit

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject who in the opinion of the investigator, have not or likely will not complete at least some portion of the investigator's recommended follow-up.

Addendum 1 (MATCH) Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have nerve transection injuries to the upper extremity;

  • Have undergone tension free end to end nerve coaptation on both the proximal anddistal portion of the nerve gap with nerve autograft or nerve entubulation withnerve tube conduit at a participating ANG-CP-005 registry site after 2004 and;

  • Have completed sufficient follow-up assessments at a regeneration rate of 2mm/day todetermine the outcomes of the repair or is willing to comply with site specificpost-operative care procedures and assessments to determine the outcome of therepair.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Direct nerve repairs;

  • Nerve gaps greater than 70mm;

  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, were non-compliant to theinvestigator's post-operative treatment or rehabilitation instructions;

  • Any subject who at the discretion of the Investigator is not suitable for inclusionin the study.

Addendum 2 (Sensation-NOW) Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female ≥ 18 years old

  • Undergo post mastectomy autologous breast reconstruction with one type of autologousflap (no stacked reconstructions or use of implant with autologous flap)

  • Neurotization must be completed using a donor nerve from the flap and a recipientnerve from the chest

  • Complete Sensory Assessment Testing with Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments (SWMF) andthe following Breast-Q Questionnaires 60 - 120 days post-reconstruction:

  • Breast-Q Physical Well Being of the Chest

  • Breast-Q Satisfaction with Breast

  • Breast-Q Physical Well Being of the Abdomen

  • Breast-Q Abnormal Breast Sensations

  • Breast-Q Impact of Breast Sensation on Quality of Life

  • Breast-Q Return of Breast Sensation

  • Able to provide informed consent and are willing to comply with post-operative careprocedures and assessments

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Surgical history of secondary revision surgery for partial or total flap loss

  • Bilateral reconstruction with non-uniform treatment (i.e. 1 reconstructed breast isnon-neurotized, 1 reconstructed breast is neurotized)

  • Currently prescribed medication known to impact nerve regeneration or to causeperipheral neuropathy

  • Currently undergoing IV chemotherapy or radiation

  • Any subject who at the discretion of the Investigator is not suitable for inclusionin the study or is unlikely to comply with follow-up schedule

Additional Eligibility criteria to Modules

Module 1: Native Skin Reconstructions with and without neurotization.

  • Buried flap reconstructions from nipple sparing mastectomy or skin sparingmastectomy OR a breast reconstruction from a skin sparing mastectomy with exposedflap skin in the peri-areolar region.

  • Sensory assessments must be completed on ≥ 8 Zones of Native Skin.

  • Center zone measurement may be on either Native Skin or Flap Skin.

  • All Inner and Outer zone measurements must be on Native Skin.

  • De-identified photo of the breast reconstruction with 9 zones identified.

Study Description

This is a multicenter registry study to collect utilization, safety, and outcomes data from medical record chart review of nerve reconstruction procedures throughout the body with Avance® Nerve Graft.

Addendum 1 (MATCH) establishes a comparative arm to collect data on nerve injuries repaired with nerve autografts and nerve tube conduits at select RANGER® participating sites.

Addendum 2 (Sensation-NOW) establishes a focused arm to collect data on autologous breast reconstructive procedures where neurotization was completed. Post-mastectomy autologous breast reconstruction procedures without neurotization will serve as an internal control group to allow for comparisons.
