Prospective Randomized Study of Cementless vs Cemented UKA
Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
- Interventions
- Device: Engage Partial Knee
- Registration Number
- NCT05377450
- Lead Sponsor
- JIS Research Institute
- Brief Summary
To evaluate the non-inferiority of the cementless Engage Partial Knee System compared to cemented Engage Partial knee System.
- Detailed Description
Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has demonstrated outstanding success in the treatment of anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee. Most UKA implants in the US market require cemented fixation, and there can be specific complications related to cement such as aseptic loosening between the bone-cement and/or cement-implant interface along with loose cement causing third-body wear of the remaining normal articular cartilage. Cementless devices offer a durable long-term fixation method with no risk of loose cement causing secondary damage.

- Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's Disease
- Patients who have had an above-knee amputation in the contralateral leg Instability or deformity of the ligaments and/or surrounding soft tissue, which would preclude stability of the prostheses
- Patients with a known metal allergy
- Prisoners or, individuals who are known to be abusing drugs or alcohol or are mentally incompetent
- Patients who have received systemic steroids within the past 6 months or steroid injection into the affected knee within the previous 6 weeks prior to enrollment

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method KOOS JR Score 2 Years KOOS JR is a survey evaluating knee health for individuals following joint replacement by evaluating stiffness, pain, function, and activities of daily living.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method KOOS JR Score 6 weeks; 3, 6, 9, and 12 months KOOS JR is a survey evaluating knee health for individuals following joint replacement by evaluating stiffness, pain, function, and activities of daily living.
Pain Score 6 weeks; 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months Patient rated operative knee pain on a Likert pain score of 0-10.
Range of Motion 6 weeks; 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months Patient's range of motion is a measurement of the operated knee's extension and flexion.
Implant Survivorship 2 Year Implant survivorship will be determined using revision surgery on the operated knee as implant failure.
