Design
Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Sequential AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Phase I: 6 patients will be treated with single dose open label, and safety measures will be assessed. Phase IIa: Once initial safety is confirmed, 20 amobarbital:10 control patients will be treated with the single dose at the initial operation. Patients and attending surgeons will be blinded to the identity of the dose. Assuming continued safety, an additional 20 amobarbital: 10 control patients will be treated with two doses and evaluated. The second dose of 2.5 mM amobarbital will be administered during the second operation.Masking: Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Outcomes Assessor)Primary Purpose: Treatment

This is a small-scale proof-of concept clinical trial of amobarbital as a treatment to prevent post-traumatic osteoarthritis in fractured ankle joints. The study is a double blind, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, stepwise trial. Amobarbital will be delivered to ankle joints in solution with hyaluronic acid (HA) as a vehicle. Amobarbital/HA injections (active dose) will be compared to HA alone (placebo dose). Our primary goal is to confirm safety, but we will also assess whether treatment improves chondrocyte viability and decreases synovial inflammation. The intervention that has proven to be effective in vitro and in vivo models. The study team will assess safety and begin to evaluate efficacy of amobarbital/Gel-One in patients having sustained tibial pilon fractures. The study team will use advanced imaging-based methods we have developed to characterize how joints subjected to varying levels of fracture severity and residual elevated contact stress respond in treated and control groups. Phase I:6 subjects will be treated with a single dose open label, and safety measures will be assessed. Phase II: Once initial safety is confirmed, 20 amobarbital:10 control subjects will be treated with the single dose at the initial operation. Assuming continued safety, an additional 20 amobarbital:10 control subjects will be treated with two doses and evaluated. The second dose of 2.5 mM amobarbital will be administered during the second operation. Subjects will participate in the following procedures: SOC surgical intervention Randomization to Amobarbital/Gel-One arm or control arm X-rays CT scans Blood and urine Questionnaires
