A Prospective, Randomized Multicenter Controlled Trial of CERAMENT™|G as Part of Surgical Repair of Open Diaphyseal Tibial Fractures

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CERAMENT™|G used
in conjunction with standard-of-care treatment compared to standard-of-care treatment alone
in the care of subjects with open fractures of the tibial diaphysis.

CERAMENT™|G is a resorbable, gentamicin containing ceramic bone graft indicated to fill bony
voids or gaps which are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure and where there
is risk of bacterial contamination.

1. Male or female 18-21 years of age with radiographic evidence on plain x-rays of
proximal and distal tibial physeal closure, OR male or female 22-75 years of age

2. Gustilo-Anderson Grade II, IIIA, or IIIB open tibial shaft fracture (with or without
involvement of the tibial plateau or pilon/plafond) amenable to fixation with an
intramedullary nail

3. Bone loss at the fracture site must have a radiographic apparent bone gap (RABG)
between 3 and 27.5 millimeters.

4. Life expectancy of at least 1 year

5. Patient is willing to provide informed consent, is geographically stable and able to
comply with the required follow up visits, testing schedule and medication regimen

6. Adequate soft tissue coverage at the fracture site (through primary closure or
surgical reconstruction, including local and free soft tissue transfer)

7. Definitive wound closure within 10 days of the initial injury

8. Unilateral fracture, or, in the case of individually-qualifying bilateral open tibia
fractures, the more severe of the bilateral fractures.

Patients will be excluded if ANY of the following conditions apply:

1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women or planning on becoming pregnant during the
investigational period

2. Patient is currently participating in an investigational drug or other device study or
previously enrolled in this study

3. Renal failure or documented chronic kidney disease with serum creatinine ≥3.5 mg/L or
being treated with dialysis

4. Known hypersensitivity to aminoglycoside antibiotics, calcium sulfate or calcium
hydroxyapatite

5. Pre-existing calcium metabolism disorder

6. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A1c levels > 10%)

7. A current endocrine or metabolic disorder known to affect osteogenesis (e.g., Paget's
disease, renal osteodystrophy, hyperthyroidism, parathyroid hormone disorder,
Ehler-Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta)

8. Neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or Parkinson's disease

9. Currently has untreated malignant neoplasm(s), or is currently undergoing radiation
therapy or chemotherapy

10. Inadequate neurovascular status in the involved limb that may jeopardize healing
(e.g., Gustilo-Anderson IIIc classification)

11. Previous history of osteomyelitis in the index limb

12. Ipsilateral tibial plateau or pilon/plafond fractures requiring a reconstruction that
interferes with or prohibits the use of an intramedullary nail to stabilize the tibial
shaft fracture or, in the opinion of the investigator, the treatment and/or
rehabilitation of such fracture(s) would substantially interfere with the treatment,
rehabilitation or other requirements of open tibial shaft fractures enrolled under
this protocol.

13. Other ipsilateral lower extremity fracture(s) if, in the opinion of the investigator,
the treatment and/or rehabilitation of such fracture(s) will substantially interfere
with the treatment, rehabilitation or other requirements outlined in this protocol.
