Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare migration patterns between mechanical and anatomic alignment surgical techniques for the Attune S+ CR-FB knee system using model-based RSA over the first 2 post-operative years.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty with the Attune S+ fixed bearing TKR system. Patients will be randomized to two study groups: 1. Neutral mechanical alignment; 2. Anatomical alignment. The principal objective of this study is to compare migration patterns between mechanical and anatomic alignment surgical techniques for the Attune S+ CR-FB knee system using model-based RSA over the first 2 post-operative years. Secondary objectives include; comparison of 2-year migration values against published thresholds for adequate short-term fixation, comparison of functional and health status of subjects following surgery, comparison of intra-operative soft-tissue releases, incidence of complications and adverse events, and to assess several health economic parameters relating to the surgery.
