Conditions

Total Knee Arthroplasty
Interventions
Device: Navio ™ Robotic-assisted Surgical System
Registration Number
NCT03317834
Lead Sponsor
Smith & Nephew, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superior accuracy with the Navio ™ Robotic-assisted Surgical System in achieving desired post-operative mechanical alignment, compared to TKA procedures using standard instruments. An additional study purpose is to document clinical and patient-reported outcomes in subjects receiving TKA with the Navio ™ system.

Detailed Description

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) has become an effective and reliable treatment for arthritis of the knee (1). TKA is associated with low morbidity and mortality, and its effectiveness in reducing joint pain and improving range of motion is well established. In 2014, over 750,000 knee replacements were performed in the US (2).

A significant innovation in TKA has been the introduction of computer navigation and robotic-assisted surgery (3). One such technology is the Navio™ Robotic-assisted Surgical System. This system is a semi-autonomous image-free system. During the surgery, the surgeon maps the condylar landmarks and determines alignment indices to define the volume and orientation of bone to be removed. The tools to remove the bone and place the implants are controlled and manipulated by the surgeon with the guidance of a 3-dimensional digital map of the surgical surface.

Originally the Navio™ system was launched for use in unicondylar knee replacement only. To date, there have been over 1000 unicondylar knee replacement surgeries using the system. In 2017, Smith \& Nephew Inc. expanded the indications for the Navio™ system to include TKA. The purpose of this multicenter, prospective study is to evaluate outcomes associated with this new indication.

  2. Subject was considered skeletally mature at the time of cone implantation (at least 18 years or older.)
  3. Subject agrees to consent to and to follow the study visit schedule (as defined in the study protocol and informed consent form) by signing the IRB/EC approved informed consent form.
  4. Subject plans to be available through two (2) years postoperative follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Subject has BMI ≥ 40.
  2. Subject has condition(s) that may interfere with the TKA survival or outcome (i.e., Paget's or Charcot's disease, vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, uncontrolled diabetes, moderate to severe renal insufficiency or neuromuscular disease, or an active, local infection).
  3. Subject is deemed by investigator to require a constrained or deep dish tibial insert.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Count of Participants With Post-operative Mechanical Alignment1 month

The number of participants achieving post-operative mechanical alignment within ±3 degrees from target with "Yes" indicating mechanical alignment was achieved and "No" indicating mechanical alignment was not achieved.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Count of Participants With Implant Survival2 years

Number of participants with implant survivorship where "No" indicates a revision surgery was not required and "Yes" indicates a revision surgery was required by the 2 year postoperative visit.

Knee Society Score 2011Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

The Functional Knee Score is derived from assessments of walking and standing, standard activities, advanced activities, and discretionary activities in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) participants. The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate subscales with a higher number indicating a better outcome:

* A Patient Expectation Score (5items: 15 points, range 0-15)

* A Functional Activity Score (19 items: 100 points, range 0-100)

* An "Objective" Knee Score (7 items: 100 points, range 0-100)

* A Patient Satisfaction Score (5 items: 40 points, range 0-40)

Quality of Life EQ-5D-5LBaseline, 1 Month, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years

Patient Reported Outcomes using EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) was graded on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being the best health you can imagine and 0 indicating the worst.

Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years

Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) is a patient-reported outcome measure intended to determine a patient's ability to "forget" about their affected joint after surgery or treatment. The Forgotten Joint Score consists of 12 questions and is scored on a 0-100 scale. The higher the score, the less the patient is aware of their affected joint when performing daily activities.

Hospital Length of StayDuring hospitalization, up to 6 days

Hospital length of stay measured in days

Operative TimeDuring surgery, up to 235 minutes

Operative time taken for the surgery measured in minutes.

Radiographic Assessment - Anteroposterior (AP) AngleBaseline, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

AP Angle mechanical alignment of femoral flexion, tibial angle, and total valgus angle

Radiographic Assessment - Lateral AngleBaseline, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

Lateral Angle mechanical alignment of femoral flexion and tibial angle.

Radiographic Assessment - Count of Participant Displacements6 months

Number of participants with either no displacement or displacement observed at the 6-month follow-up visit.

Radiographic Assessment - Displacement Measurement6 months

Degree of displacement measured in millimeters (mm) for participants with displacement observed at the 6-month follow-up visit.
