What is being measured

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

  1. mean intraoperative time

    Time measured in pre-defined segments from the point that the patient is wheeled into the OR until the OR is clean and ready for the next case's activities to begin.

    Measured: measured during surgery (day 1)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. alignment accuracy

    Measured: 3 weeks post-op

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Total Knee Arthroplasty with Custom Cutting Blocks and Total Knee Arthroplasty via Computer Assisted Surgery in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Foundation for Southwest Orthopedic Research at 2 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 8 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

mean intraoperative time (time frame: measured during surgery (day 1)). 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 NCT01331278, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Apr 2011.
