About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial of Navigated and Conventional TKA With Radiographic and CT Evaluations

Evaluation of the component position and kinematics after navigated and conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description
  1. Component position, kinematics After skin closure lateral x-rays were done in different flexion angles in order to evaluate the kinematic behaviour of the TKA. A full-length standing and a lateral radiograph as well as CT scans of the hip, knee and ankle joint were performed 5 to 7 days postoperatively before discharge.
  2. clinical outcome Patient sociodemographic and anamnestic data were collected. The written interview was complemented by the EuroQol questionnaire (release EQ-5D) and the assessment of the patients' functional status (Knee Society Score) one week before surgery and 18 to 24 month after surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Implantation of a Total Knee ArthroplastyProcedure or surgery

    Also called ScorpioTM PCS, Stryker Navigation System, Stryker Knee Navigation Software V3.1

    In all patients a cemented, unconstrained, cruciate-retaining TKA with a rotating platform (ScorpioTM PCS, Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ) was implanted. No patellar resurfacing was performed. A medial parapatellar approach with a femur-first preparation was done in all cases.

    The Stryker Navigation System, Knee Navigation Software V3.1 (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ) was used for computer-assisted implantation.

    The conventional implantation was performed with femoral intramedullary and tibial extramedullary standard alignment guides.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Implantation of a Total Knee Arthroplasty in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Technische Universität Dresden at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 18 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

rotational component position (time frame: postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01022099, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 18 Dec 2009.
