Total Knee Replacement With the Attune vs. the Press Fit Condylar (PFC) Sigma.
- Conditions
- Osteoarthrosis, Knee
- Registration Number
- NCT03077958
- Lead Sponsor
- Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden
- Brief Summary
100 knees with primary osteoarthritis and scheduled for a total knee replacement (TKR) will be recruited from our waiting list. The patients will be randomized to become operated with the Attune or PFC total knee arthroplasty. Randomisation will be done using envelopes. Patients can only participate with one knee.
- Detailed Description
The Attune total knee replacement is a recently developed implant with the intention to improve the outcome after this procedure. One of the primary aims is to improve the kinematics of the knee in order to more closely mimic the normal knee. Thereby the patients are expected to experience improved function, better stability and less pain during activity. So far there are no randomized studies which have demonstrated this potential superior performance when compared to its predecessor, the PFC Sigma TKR. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcome and the knee kinematics of the Attune knee using recognized clinical outcome parameters and dynamic radiostereometry. The PFC sigma knee will be used as control.
100 knees with primary osteoarthritis and scheduled for a total knee replacement (TKR) will be recruited from our waiting list. The patients will be randomized to become operated with the Attune or PFC total knee arthroplasty. Randomization will be done using envelopes. Patients can only participate with one knee.
Surgical procedure: The operations will be done according to our routines without use of bloodless field. Local analgesia will be infiltrated periarticulary during the operation. Cemented fixation will be used in all cases. So-called "fast-track"principles will be applied in both Groups.
Patients will be followed for five years.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Oxford Knee Score (OKS) Preoperatively to 2 years The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a 12-item patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) specifically designed and developed to assess function and pain after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery (arthroplasty). It is short, reproducible, valid and sensitive to clinically important changes.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient satisfaction is reported on a visual analogue scale (VAS) 1-10 Preoperatively to 2 years Patient satisfaction is reported on a visual analogue scale (VAS) 1-10
Pain (VAS) Preoperatively to 2 years Patient pain reported on Visual Analogue Scales(VAS) 1-10
Knee Kinematics, (anterior-posterior translations and axial rotations) 2 years Dynamic radiostereometric analysis with detailed recordings of the threedimensional motions of the knee during a step-up
