Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions

Interventions
Device: Persona Knee System
Procedure: Total Knee Arthroplasty
Device: iAssist Knee
Registration Number
NCT03227692
Lead Sponsor
Zimmer Biomet
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system.

Detailed Description

Objective: To compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system.

Endpoint: Primary: The alignment accuracy of the knee femoral and tibial components at 6 months for the investigational group compared to the control group.

Secondary:Health Status after TKA, Operating Room efficiency and Complication rate after TKA for the investigational group compared to the control group.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Tibial Components in Sagittal PlainPostoperative 6 months

Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from preoperatively determined target angle, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Femoral Components in Coronal PlainPostoperative 6 months

Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from perpendicular to mechanical axis of lower extremity, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Femoral Components in Sagittal PlainPostoperative 6 months

Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from perpendicular to mechanical axis of lower extremity, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Instrument Trays UsedIntraoperative

Number of instrument trays used instraoperatively. This number includes number of Total Knee Arthroplasty specific instrument tray, does not include other general surgical instruments/kits.

KSS-function Score at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

KSS-function score is patient-derived score and composed of four subgroups and has a maximum score of 100.

"Walking and Standing" has a maximum value of 30 points, "Standard Activities" has a maximum of 30 points, "Advanced Activities" has a maximum of 25 points and "Discretionary Activities" has a maximum of 15 points.

Lowest possible score is 0. Higher score means better outcomes.

EQ-5D-3L at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

EQ-5D is patient reported outcome measure to score patient's health related quality of life with minimum score of -0.111 and maximum score of 1.000.

Higher score means better outcomes.

KSS - Objective Score at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

KSS-Objective score is physician-derived component and allows for more than 100 points in patients with greater than 125° of flexion and a stable painless knee as outlined below. Lowest possible score is 0.

Higher score means better outcomes.

KSS-Patient Satisfaction at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

KSS-Patient Satisfaction is patient-derived score and is a five-question 40-point scale that is collected preoperatively and at each follow-up visit. Lowest possible score is 0.

Surgery TimeIntraoperative, an average of 2 hours

Surgery time from skin incision to closure

KSS-Patient Expectations at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

KSS-Patient Expectations is patient-derived score and is a three-question fifteen-point scale that is collected pre-operatively and post-operatively. The pre-operative questions reflect the patient's opinion on the extent to which the patient expects that operation will improve knee pain, and ability to perform activities of daily living and recreational activities. The post-operative questions reflect the extent to which postoperative outcome has met the patient's pre-operative expectations with respect to pain and function.

The score ranges from 3 to 15. Higher score means better outcomes.

Oxford Knee Score at 6 Month Postoperatively6 month postoperative

Patient Reported Outcome specific for knee disease. Score range from 0 to 48. Higher score means better outcome.
