A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Cemented and Cementless Total Knee Replacement

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
Registration Number
NCT01194817
Lead Sponsor
Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the the Nexgen knee replacement system using cementless fixation with the same system using cemented fixation. At minimum 2-year follow-up, the hypothesis is that NexGen total knee arthroplasties using cementless and cemented fixation will demonstrate no differences in clinical outcome based on Oxford and Knee Society scores, patient-assessed visual analog pain, clinical complications, radiographic fixation and implant survivorship.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complications15 year

The number and type of adverse events will be monitored to assess safety.

Radiographic analysis4 month

Radiographic analysis will include evaluation of component and limb alignment, evidence of component subsidence or migration, and the presence and progression of radiolucent lines between the prosthesis, bone and cement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oxford Knee Score15 year

A patient reported questionnaire for assessing the outcome of knee surgery.

Knee Society Score15 year

A standard clinical evaluation system for reporting results for patients undergoing total knee replacement.

Visual analog pain score4 month

Pain score will be measured from a patient-assessed visual analog pain scale.
