Trial summary

Unicompartmental knee replacements are performed to treat osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis of the knee especially when it affects only the medial femoro-tibial compartment. To place the prosthesis, bone removal is necessary. Read more about this study

About this study

Unicompartmental knee replacements are performed to treat osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis of the knee especially when it affects only the medial femoro-tibial compartment. To place the prosthesis, bone removal is necessary. The orientations of the bony cuts directly influence the position of the different elements of the prosthesis and the limb alignment. It is known that good positioning of the prosthesis is the key of a good survival of the implants. To guide the blade of the saw, cutting guides are used. The position of these guides gives the final position of the cuts. At present, two main techniques are used to position the guides: the conventional one, not very costly but not very accurate, and the navigated procedure, which is more accurate but also more expensive and more invasive. Since few years, patient specific cutting guides are used in total knee replacement with encouraging results and more recently in uni compartmental knee replacement with no scientific proof of efficiency.

This study aims to validate the procedure of patient specific cutting guides.

Read the detailed description

30 patients will be included in a mono centric, single-arm study with evaluation of the primary outcome by an independent expert comity. Each participant will have an MRI which will be sent to the society in charge of creating the patient specific cutting guides. The intervention will be performed using the patient specific cutting guides and in parallel, a station of navigation will be used to provide a safety control of the orientation of the cutting guide and to collect per operative data.

Evaluation visit is performed 6 months after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success rate in performing the tibial cut

    Success is defined as a correct orientation of the tibial cut which has to be within patient's target value (± 2°) at 6 months in both the frontal and the sagittal plans.

    Failure of prosthesis implantation (defined by outranging patient's target value of more than 4º in the frontal or the sagittal plan or more than 3 mm on the cutting depth, controled by per operative navigated procedure) is considered as treatment failure.

    Measured: Month 6

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Success rate in conserving a residual varus.

    Success is defined as a post-operative varus which does not exceed the patient's target value ± 3°, while respecting a 1° minimal varus.

    Measured: Month 6

  2. Variations of other orientation parameters of the tibial cut and limb alignment at the different times of the procedure (per and post operative) .

    Measured: Per-operative, and Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Unicompartmental Knee Replacement in people with Knee Prosthesis, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 19 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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?

Success rate in performing the tibial cut (time frame: Month 6). 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 19 Aug 2016.
