Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Prof. Dr. med. Carsten Perka will do the recruitment, since he is the surgeon that worked the most with this implant and therefore also has the biggest population of possibly eligible patients. Furthermore the patients already know and trust him, which could lead to a greater success in the recruitment as well. For these reasons the financial source DePuy Synthes, Johnson and Johnson, requires that the clinical collaborator Prof. Dr. med. Carsten Perka will do the recruitment. He works in the Charité in Berlin, Germany, where he does the recruitment.

Who may be able to join

  • Unilateral TKA (ATTUNETM) due to osteoarthrosis (OA)
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 33
  • Good clinical outcome, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) > 70
  • No or very low Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS) < 2
  • At least one year post-op
  • Standardized general health survey score (SF-12) within the normal range for people in their age group

Who cannot join

  • Actual significant problem on lower extremities
  • Misaligned TKA
  • Any other arthroplasty at the lower extremities
  • Patient incapable to understand and sign informed consent
  • Incapable of performing the motion tasks
  • Pregnancy

About this study

Official title: Kinematics Analysis: Cruciate Retaining, Fixed Bearing Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty With the ATTUNE TM Knee System

The proposed study is a retrospective, observational study. A group of 5 subjects with the AttuneTM cruciate retaining (CR) fixed bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are analysed during level walking, a deep knee bend, sitting down onto a chair, standing up from a chair and stair descent at least 12 months post-operatively, in terms of 3D fluoroscopic assessed tibio-femoral TKA motion as well as simultaneous skin marker assessed whole leg motion and ground reaction forces. The obtained information helps the manufacturer (DePuy) to evaluate, bring to market and advance the implant. Furthermore the information will be integrated in a model, which will be developed at the Center for Orthopaedic Engineering, University of Denver. By means of this model, different conditions such as the use of an advanced prosthesis design can be simulated and tested.

The objective of this study is in a first step to demonstrate the capability of data collection and analysis of level gait, deep knee bend, sitting down onto a chair, standing up from a chair and stair descent on a limited sample size of five subjects. Secondly to quantify and describe the three-dimensional kinematics for the cruciate retaining (CR), fixed bearing AttuneTM TKA during daily activities such as those mentioned.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship between the knee flexion angle and the medial and lateral anterior-posterior translation of the condyles

    The primary outcome of this pilot study is the relationship between the knee flexion angle and the medial and lateral anterior-posterior translation of the condyles during level walking, stair descent, standing up from a chair, sitting onto a chair and deep knee bend.

    Measured: 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Dr. Renate List at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 26 Jan 2017. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Relationship between the knee flexion angle and the medial and lateral anterior-posterior translation of the condyles (time frame: 3 hours). 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 26 Jan 2017.
