About this study

Official title: Zimmer(R) Gender Solutions(TM) Patello-Femoral Joint Prothesis Used Within the Knee Registry Protocol

The primary objective of the Registry is to allow for tracking of FDA approved and/or cleared knees used in primary, revision, unicompartmental or partial total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Second, it is our desire to assist orthopaedic surgeons in obtaining and evaluating radiographic and functional outcomes data on their PFJ patients using current published guidelines. Third, within this Registry, subsets of data on newer technology are being collected for the purpose of future publications. The Patello-Femoral Joint Post Market Clinical (PFJ PMCF) study is one such subset.

Read the detailed description

To obtain preoperative, operative and postoperative clinical outcomes data for the Zimmer Gender Solutions PFJ Knee Prosthesis used in primary partial knee arthroplasty such as knee scoring and patient satisfaction such collection using Patient Questionaire and SF-12 forms. Kaplan-Meir survivorship analysis of the device will be performed. Radiographic analysis of the device will also be performed at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 year follow-up. It is planned that the resultant data will be pooled and published by the evaluating surgeons.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthritis, run by Zimmer Biomet.

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 16 inclusion and 14 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Long-term Device survivorship for publication (time frame: 10 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2016.
