Detailed Description

The objective is to investigate the Clinical, Radiographic, Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric behaviour and patient outcome when using the Triathlon total knee prosthesis in a prospective randomized clinical trial.

The evaluation is carried out by a prospective randomised RSA-study with Triathlon CR cemented vs. uncemented.

Recruitment & Eligibility

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
60
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Patients suffering exclusively from osteo arthritis, Stage II-V [Ahlbäck Trauma Score, 1968 391] will be operated.
  2. Patients requiring knee prosthesis, suitable for the use of Duracon and Triathlon knee system
  3. Patients who understand the conditions of the study and are willing and able to comply with the post-operative scheduled clinical and radiographical evaluations and the prescribed rehabilitation.
  4. Patients who signed the Ethics Committee approved Informed Consent Form prior to surgery.
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Previous major knee surgery
  2. Other significant disabling problems from the muscular-skeletal system than in the knees
  3. Obese patients where obesity is severe enough to affect subject's ability to perform activities of daily living (body mass index, kg/m2: BMI above 35).
  4. Patients with active or suspected infection.
  5. Patients with malignancy - active malignancy.
  6. Patients with severe osteoporosis, Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy.
  7. Patients immunologically suppressed, or receiving steroids in excess of physiologic dose requirements.
  8. The patient has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficit which would limit the ability to assess the performance of the device or the patient has a neurological deficit which interferes with the patient's ability to limit weight bearing or places an extreme load on the implant during the healing period.
  9. Female patients planning a pregnancy during the course of the study.
  10. Patients with systemic or metabolic disorders leading to progressive bone deterioration.
  11. Patients, who as judged by the surgeon, are mentally incompetent or are unlikely to be compliant with the prescribed post-operative routine and follow-up evaluation schedule.
  12. Patients with other severe concurrent joint involvements, which can affect their outcome.
  13. Patients with other concurrent illnesses, which are likely to affect their outcome such as sickle cell anaemia, systemic lupus erythematosus or renal disease requiring dialysis.
  14. Patients under the protection of law (e.g. guardianship).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of fixation and stability of the Triathlon total knee prosthesis by Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA)10 years follow-up; UPDATE: time frame extended up to 15 years outcomes

Assessment of fixation and stability of the Triathlon total knee prosthesis by Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric as a predictor of late mechanical loosening.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) patient questionnairepre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years; UPDATE: extended 12 and 15 years

KOOS consists of 5 subscales: Pain, other symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation and knee related quality of life (QOL). The previous week is the time period considered when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question is assigned a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms).

Investigation of patient outcome with radiographic analysis3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years; UPDATE: extended 12 and 15 years

Plain radiographs will be obtained for assessment of fixation of the device.

Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with Knee Society Score (KSS)pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years; UPDATE: extended 12 and 15 years

The Knee Society Clinical Rating System is comprised of two distinct sub-scores: one for pain, Range of motion (ROM) and joint stability, and one for functional parameters. Sub-scores range from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.

Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with EuroQuol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) patient questionnairepre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years; UPDATE: extended 12 and 15 years

The EQ-5D health questionnaire provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status.
