Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare implant kinematics of conventional mechanically aligned and anatomically aligned total knee arthroplasties (TKA) at 1 year post-operatively.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be randomized to receive a primary TKA using either an anatomic alignment or a conventional mechanical alignment technique.

Participants will undergo a kinematic analysis of a deep knee bend using single-plane fluoroscopy at 1 year post-operatively. The primary outcome will be based on the 6 degree of freedom kinematics and associated joint component proximity during the knee bend task. Secondary outcomes include the Knee Society Score, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and the Forgotten Knee Score.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females
  • Primary arthroplasty for treatment of osteoarthritis
  • Age between 40 and 80 years old
  • Willingness to provide written consent for study participation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Revision arthroplasty
  • Pre-operative knee flexion lower than 90 degrees
  • Varus knee deformity greater than 15 degrees
  • Pre-operative valgus knee deformity
  • Presence of infections, highly communicable diseases or disease
  • Significant neurological or musculoskeletal disorders or disease that may interfere with normal gait or weight bearing
  • Congenital, developmental, or other bone disease or previous hip surgery that may, in the surgeon's judgment, interfere with total knee prosthesis survival or success
  • Presence of previous prosthetic knee or hip replacement device
  • > 40
  • Pregnant women
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Anatomic alignment

    The aim of anatomic alignment is to recreate an individual's pre-operative alignment using the DePuy ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty system.

    Device: DePuy ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty system

  • Active comparator
    Mechanical alignment

    The aim of mechanical alignment is to achieve a neutral mechanical alignment regardless of pre-operative status, using the DePuy ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty system.

    Device: DePuy ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty system

Interventions

  • DeviceDePuy ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty system

    A standard midvastus approach will be used for both alignment technique groups. This is a standard approach for exposing the knee joint for TKA.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Knee motion, as determined by 6 degree freedom of movement kinematics and associated joint proximity during the knee bend task.

    Time frame: 1 year post surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Participants perception of knee function, as determined by the Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)

    Time frame: 1 year post surgery

  2. Participant's awareness of the joint implant, as determined by the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12)

    Time frame: 1 year post surgery

  3. Knee joint and ambulatory function based on physical exam, as determined by the Knee Society Score (KSS)

    Time frame: 1 year post surgery
