Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients willing to sign the informed consent.
- •Patients able to comply with study requirements including stress x-rays and self-evaluations.
- •Male and non-pregnant females ages 21 - 80 years of age at the time of surgery.
- •Patients who have undergone a primary total knee replacement, are one year or greater postoperative, and are not having any evidence of failure of their implants.
- •Patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA), traumatic arthritis (TA), or avascular necrosis (AVN).
- •Patients with intact collateral ligaments.
- •Range of motion within five degrees of full extension and a minimum of 120 degrees of flexion.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with inflammatory arthritis.
- •Patients that are morbidly obese, body mass index (BMI) \>
- •Patients that have had a high tibial osteotomy or femoral osteotomy.
- •Patients with neuromuscular or neurosensory deficiency, which would limit the ability to assess the performance of the device.
- •Patients with a systemic or metabolic disorder leading to progressive bone deterioration.
- •Patients that are immunologically compromised, or receiving chronic steroids (\>30 days), excluding inhalers.
- •Patients bone stock is compromised by disease or infection, which cannot provide adequate support and/or fixation to the prosthesis.
- •Patients with knee fusion to the affected joint.
- •Patients with an active or suspected latent infection in or about the knee joint.
- •Patients that are prisoners.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Measurement of antero-posterior stability of the knee with stress x-rays.
Time Frame: 1 year post-operative
Antero-posterior stability of the knee will be measured with stress x-rays using the TELOS Stress device in 45° and 90° flexion. Stress x-rays will be obtained during a single visit for subjects 1 year or greater post-operatively.
Secondary Outcomes
- Knee Society Score (KSS)(1 year post-operative)
- Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS)(1 year post-operative)
- Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)(1 year post-operative)
