About this study

This study will use a special type of x-ray called radiostereometric analysis (RSA) imaging to determine whether patient-specific instrumentation for total knee arthroplasty (replacement) has an effect on implant loosening compared to conventional instrumentation. Secondary objectives will include assessment of post-operative implant alignment, patient satisfaction, operative time and surgical instrument use, cost, and environmental impact.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial which will enroll 50 patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. All study patients will undergo an MRI prior to surgery. Half (25)of these patients will be randomized to have their MRI used to develop a patient-specific instrument to be used during their surgery. The other half (25) will have conventional instrumentation (CI) used for their knee replacement surgery.

All patients will have the same type of knee implant used for their total knee replacement (Genesis II posterior stabilized (Smith \& Nephew).

Patients will not know which group they have been randomized to. For patients randomized into the patient-specific randomization group, If the surgeon is not happy with the patient-specific instrumentation, they have the option to switch to conventional instrumentation at any time during the surgery.

  • Length of operation, number of instruments used, amount of OR room waste and number and type of adjustments to the patient specific instrumentation will be tracked.

During the surgery, all patients in the study will have tantalum marker beads placed in the bone surrounding their knee replacement. These beads will be used as markers to measure implant fixation over the next two years. All patients will undergo a special type of x-ray imaging called RSA imaging to quantify implant fixation over time.

RSA examinations will occur at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years at the Robart's Research Institute after their standard of care visit with orthopaedic surgeon.

Model based RSA software used to measure motion of implant components relative to bone markers.

All patients will complete our standard outcome measures in the form of surveys completed at their follow-up visits after surgery. •

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluating the Change in Implant Fixation assessed using RSA imaging

    Model based RSA will be used to measure the migration of the implant components relative to the bone between all time points.

    Measured: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months 6 months, 1 year, 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient Outcomes including Satisfaction

    Patient reported outcome measures provide important insight into how well total knee replacement performs from the patient's perspective. We will obtain patient surveys using four common, validated outcome measures: Knee Society Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score

    Measured: Preoperatively, 1 year, 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total Knee Arthroplasty with use of Visionaire Patient-Specific Instrumentation in people with Osteoarthritis, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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 8 Nov 2018. 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 Canada. 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?

Evaluating the Change in Implant Fixation assessed using RSA imaging (time frame: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months 6 months, 1 year, 2 years). 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 NCT02230215, 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 Nov 2018.
