1. The patient and surgeon must agree that total knee replacement (TKR) is necessary
2. The patient must be fit for TKR in the opinion of the Investigator
3. The patient must be 18 years of age or older at the time of recruitment
4. The inclusion of minors would introduce an extremely rare subset of TKR patients in which the surgeon?s choice of implant is desirable
5. The patient must be able to fully understand the study and must therefore be fluent in English. If they are not fluent in English, a translator will be used
6. The patient must be a permanent resident in an area accessible to the study site
7. The indication for TKR must be osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
8. This must be the patient?s first TKR
