Trial summary

This is a randomised control trial comparing two different prosthetic designs used in total knee arthroplasty. Participants were randomised to receive either of the two prostheses and then were followed up of a period of 7 years, looking at pain, range of motion and impact on quality of life.

About this study

This is a randomised control trial comparing two different prosthetic designs used in total knee arthroplasty. Participants were randomised to receive either of the two prostheses and then were followed up of a period of 7 years, looking at pain, range of motion and impact on quality of life. The literature and joint registry of Australia shows that one of the prosthesis may be inferior to the other. Our research team hypothesised that this was not the case and that previous elicited differences were related to other factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual pain analogue score

    Participants asked to rate their level of pain on a scale

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Range of motion

    The range of motion of the joint was assessed in both flexion and extension

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Activities of Daily Living

    Questionnaire looking at how the intervention impacts of activities of daily living

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. X-ray analysis of joint alignment

    Using X-rays, the knee was assessed for mechanical and anatomical alignment

    Measured: 5-7 year

  5. Visual pain analogue score

    Measured: 6 months

  6. visual pain analogue score

    Measured: 12 months

  7. visual analogue pain score

    Measured: 5-7 years

  8. range of motion

    Measured: 6 months

  9. range of motion

    Measured: 1 year

  10. range of motion

    Measured: 5-7 years

  11. activities of daily living

    Measured: 6 months

  12. activities of daily living

    Measured: 1 year

  13. activities of daily living

    Measured: 5-7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fixed bearing prosthesis and Mobile bearing prosthesis in people with Osteoarthritis, run by The University of New South Wales at 1 site in Australia.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 5 Jun 2014. 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 Australia. 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?

Visual pain analogue score (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Jun 2014.
