Fully Disposable Patient-Specific Instrumentation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis,Knee
Interventions
Device: GMK Medacta Total Knee arthroplasty
Registration Number
NCT02966613
Lead Sponsor
Cochin Hospital
Brief Summary

To evaluate the lower limb alignment following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed with fully disposable patient-specific instrumentation versus conventional, versus patient specific instrumentation.

Detailed Description

The investigators performed a controlled multicenter trial comparing the clinical and radiologic results and resources consumption of primary TKA using patient-specific cutting guides (PSCG) versus conventional instrumentation (CI), and compared the results to those obtained with a fully disposable patient-specific instrumentation (PSCG-D).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HKA angle3 months

Lower limb mechanical axis was measured on a bipodal standing leg-length anteroposterior radiograph with the patella oriented straight made three months postoperatively, using Roman software version 1.70 (Oswestry, United Kingdom). Postoperative lower limb mechanical axis was calculated from the Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angle between the femoral and tibial mechanical axes, respectively. An HKA angle greater than 180° was indicative of valgus, whereas values lower than 180° indicated varus.

Secondary Outcome Measures

% outliers3 months

% of patients with an HKA angle outside 180°+/- 3°

Knee Society Score3 months

Validated pain and function score following TKA

Oxford Knee Score3 months
