Study summary

Comparison of two unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKA), to see if Sigma UKA performs equally good as the Oxford UKA. The study focuses on how well the arthroplasty is fixated to the bone and on the difference in wear of the plastic insert. Finally, the functional outcome after surgery is compared between the two arthroplasties.

Hypothesis:

H1: The Sigma UKA has an equal migration pattern compared to the Oxford UKA with a follow up of two years - that is, no significant difference in migration between 1-2 years follow-up.

H2: The Oxford and Sigma UKA's have comparable polyethylene wear with a follow up of 5 years.

H3: The Oxford and Sigma UKA's have comparable patient perceived outcome measures (PROM) and leg extension power (LEP) postoperative.

H4: BMD of the proximal tibia does not influence migration of the tibial component

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    • Inflammatory arthritis.
  • Patients who are not able to participate in the fast-track surgery program.
  • Patients with a contralateral knee arthroplasty.
  • Patients who are unable to provide .
  • Disseminated malignant disease (cancer) and treatment with radiation or chemotherapy.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2014 to primary completion in Nov 2017, 46 months.

Of 1,111 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Osteoarthritis, Knee, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36. This study's 46 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,251 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 20, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
