Study summary

Compare the clinical and patient reported outcomes of the Vanguard XP Knee System to the Vanguard CR Knee System in patients with antero-medial osteoarthritis of the knee with an intact anterior cruciate ligament.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the proposed ALLIKAT study (All Ligaments Left in Knee Arthroplasty Trial) is to evaluate the early outcome of a Total Knee Replacement device that retains both cruciate (Vanguard XP) by comparing it with a control group of patients implanted with an established single cruciate retaining device (Vanguard CR). The study also aims to examine short and long term descriptive cohort outcome data. A small preference cohort group of 60 patients receiving the Vanguard XP Knee System will be recruited alongside the RCT group. This data will be used to confirm the external validity of the RCT group and to contribute to the safety data for the British Orthopaedic Association's Beyond Compliance Programme.

Evaluation will include intra-operative and post-operative complications, longer term survivorship and patient reported outcome measures.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Vanguard XP Knee Replacement Surgery

    Participants randomised in this group will receive the Vanguard XP Bi-cruciate Retaining Knee Replacement System. This total knee replacement device (Vanguard XP) and surgical procedure retain the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee.

    Procedure: Vanguard XP Bi-cruciate Retaining Knee Replacement System

  • Active comparator
    Vanguard CR Knee Replacement Surgery

    Participants randomised to this group will receive the Vanguard CR Single Cruciate Retaining Knee Replacement Surgery. This total knee replacement device (Vanguard CR) and surgical procedure sacrifice the anterior cruciate ligament and replaces it with artificial support. This is currently the standard practice for knee replacement surgery in the NHS.

    Procedure: Vanguard CR Single Cruciate Retaining Knee System

Interventions

  • ProcedureVanguard XP Bi-cruciate Retaining Knee Replacement System

    Newer design of knee replacement retaining the Anterior Cruciate Ligament as well as the Posterior Cruciate Ligament.

  • ProcedureVanguard CR Single Cruciate Retaining Knee System

    Current 'gold standard' for total knee replacement which retains Posterior Cruciate Ligament but sacrifices the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, instead providing artificial support.
