Evaluation of Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) After Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) Under Spinal Anesthesia

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Knee Injuries
Interventions
Procedure: Spinal Surgery
Device: Verasense Knee System device
Registration Number
NCT03053453
Lead Sponsor
NYU Langone Health
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate and compare patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with sensor guidance versus that of a standard technique. Each patient will be assessed for the difference between passive, soft tissue controlled, pressure balance and muscle activated pressure balance.

Sensor Guided Spinal SurgeryVerasense Knee System deviceThe Verasense Knee System device (OrthoSensor inc., Dania Beach, Florida) is a sterile sensor system that replaces the tibial insert trials used during surgery. The sensor contains a microprocessor and integrated nanosensor system, which wirelessly transmits real-time data to a portable graphic display unit used for read-out of the data. The sensor measures and localizes peak load at the medial and lateral tibiofemoral joint interfaces. Loading data is thereby captured intra-operatively through the full range of movement (ROM) using the sensor system.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)Month 12 Post-Surgery

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the patient's opinion about the health, symptoms, and functionality of their knee. It is a 42-item questionnaire, including 5 subscales: symptoms, pain, function in daily living (ADLs), sports/recreation, and quality of life. The maximum score a patient can achieve is 100, indicating no knee problems. The minimum score is zero, indicating severe knee problems.

Knee Society Score (KSS)Month 12 Post-Surgery

The Knee Society Score (KSS) comprises two sections (each worth 100 points) for a maximum 200 points. One section is the Knee Society Clinical Score (KSCS) - points are given for pain, motion, and stability and points are deducted for flexion contracture, extension lag, and misalignment. The other section is the Knee Society Functional Score (KSFS) - points are assigned for walking distances and climbing stairs and points are deducted for use of walking aids. For each section, a score of 80-100 = excellent, 70-79 = good; 60-69 = fair; and \< 60 = poor.
