  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who have given voluntary written informed consent to participate in this study
  • Subjects for whom primary total knee replacement is indicated due to degenerative joint disease, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and post traumatic arthritis, which is causing pain, deformity, or limitation of function uncontrolled by medical treatment.
  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are able to understand this study, co-operate with the investigational procedures and are willing to return to the hospital for all scheduled post-operative follow ups.
  • Male or Female subjects who are skeletally mature and for whom an appropriate size of device is available
  • The following subjects are not considered eligible and must not be recruited to the investigation

Who cannot join

  • Subjects scheduled for revision total knee arthroplasty, or who have had previous surgery to their knee except menisectomy, arthroscopy or synovectomy.
  • Subjects aged over 80 Years
  • Subjects experiencing any condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the total knee replacements survival or outcome (e.g. Pagets disease, Charcots disease, severe osteoporosis etc).
  • Subjects who have evidence of active infections, which may spread, to other areas of the body (e.g. osteomyelitis, pyrogenic infection of the knee joint, overt infection etc)
  • Subjects who are currently participating in any other clinical investigation of a device or pharmaceutical.
  • Subjects having non-contained defects in the tibia or femur necessitating bone graft.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Non-comparative, Multicentre, Multinational Study to Determine the Survivorship of the P.F.C. Fixed Bearing Knee System Using a Moderately Cross-linked Polyethylene Insert and a Cobalt Chrome Tibial Tray.

The study will determine the survivorship of the fixed bearing P.F.C. Sigma knee with a cobalt chrome tibial tray at 5 years.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the survivorship of the P.F.C. fixed bearing knee system using a cobalt chrome tibial tray and moderately cross-linked polyethylene insert at 5-Years. The secondary objectives of this investigation are to evaluate additional clinical outcomes to provide further information on the performance of the P.F.C. fixed bearing knee system using a moderately cross-linked polyethylene insert and cobalt chrome tibial tray. These outcomes will include Radiographic assessment, American Knee Society Score, Oxford Knee Score and SF-12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis, run by DePuy International at 5 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint is a survivorship analysis of the P.F.C. fixed bearing knee system with a cobalt chrome tibial tray and moderately cross linked polyethylene insert at the five-year time point. (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
