What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Knee Society Score Evaluation

    The Knee Society Score includes a knee rating and function score. This evaluation covers the knee rating score with three main parameters of pain, stability and range of motion and that flexion contracture, extension lag and misalignment should be dealt with as deductions. Thus, 100 points will be obtained by a well-aligned knee with no pain, 125 degrees of motion, and negligible anteroposterior and mediolateral instability. 50 points are allotted for pain, 25 for stability, and 25 for range of motion. Grading for KS Score: Excellent (90-100), Good (80-90), Fair (70-79) and Poor (<70).

    Measured: 2 year

  2. Knee Society Function Score

    The patient function score considers only walking distance and stair climbing, with deductions for walking aids. The maximum function score is obtained by a patient who can walk an unlimited distance and go up and down stairs normally. Walking ability is expressed in blocks (approximately 100 meters). Stair climbing is considered normal if the patient can ascend and descend stairs without holding a railing. A score of > or = to 60 on the function score is considered success. Minimum score = 0, maximum score = 100 with the higher the score representing a better outcome.

    Measured: 2 year

  3. Knee Society Scores Used as Success/Failure Criteria.

    The maximum score for each of the sections is 100 points. A score of at least 80 points on the 2-year knee assessment score was defined as a success.

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Encore Mobile-Bearing Knee in people with Inflammatory Tissue Disorder and Osteoarthritis, run by Encore Medical, L.P. at 8 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Knee Society Score Evaluation (time frame: 2 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2011.
