What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-Operative Complications

    Surgeon assessment of standardized TKA complications (Healey et al. CORR 2012) both intra-operatively and at short term follow up. The nine complications relating to soft tissue damage for primary TKA that were assessed as part of this study were as follows: Blood loss, Vascular injury, MCL injury, Periprosthetic fracture, Extensor mechanism disruption, Patellofemoral dislocation, Tibiofemoral dislocation, Neurological impairment, Instability.

    Measured: Subject will be assessed for these complications intra-operatively. The assessment occurs after the surgeon has completed the surgical procedure, but while the subject is still in the operating room with the surgeon.

  2. Intra-Operative Complications

    Surgeon assessment of standardized TKA complications (Healey et al. CORR 2012) both intra-operatively and at short term follow up. The nine complications relating to soft tissue damage for primary TKA that were assessed as part of this study were as follows: Blood loss, Vascular injury, MCL injury, Periprosthetic fracture, Extensor mechanism disruption, Patellofemoral dislocation, Tibiofemoral dislocation, Neurological impairment, Instability.

    Measured: Subjects will be assessed for incidence of intra-operative complications at the conclusion of their hospital stay, or an average of 3 days post-operatively.

  3. Intra-Operative Complications

    Surgeon assessment of standardized TKA complications (Healey et al. CORR 2012) both intra-operatively and at short term follow up. The nine complications relating to soft tissue damage for primary TKA that were assessed as part of this study were as follows: Blood loss, Vascular injury, MCL injury, Periprosthetic fracture, Extensor mechanism disruption, Patellofemoral dislocation, Tibiofemoral dislocation, Neurological impairment, Instability.

    Measured: 3 Month Post Op

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in the Radiographic Assessment of Limb Alignment From Pre-Operative to 3 Months Post-Operative

    Radiographic limb alignment of the operative knee according to the technique defined by Barrack et al. was assessed at the 3 month post-operative follow-up by two independent reviewers. The measured post-operative limb alignment was to be compared to the planned pre-operative limb alignment as extracted from the system log file.

    Measured: pre-op plan, 3 Month Post Op

  2. Participants With Limb Alignment Difference <4.38 Degrees

    The difference between the actual 3 month limb alignment was compared to the pre-op planned alignment. Any measurement difference <4.38 was considered a success; >4.38 degrees was considered a failure.

    Measured: Pre-op Plan, 3 Month Post Op
