About this study

This study seeks to find out if the tibial and patellar components of the Stryker Triathlon Tritanium primary total knee replacement achieve adequate fixation to the underlying bone.

Read the detailed description

Primary Hypothesis:

The investigators expect the tibial and patellar components of the Stryker Triathlon Tritanium knee to achieve adequate fixation to the underlying bone.

Secondary Hypotheses:

The investigators expect that there will be no continuous migration between one and two years post-operative in the Triathlon Tritanium components.

The investigators expect to see a correlation between radiolucent lines and migration characteristics using RSA.

The investigators expect that inducible displacement exams taken at 2 years post-operative will be able to distinguish between patients identified by RSA measurements as having inadequate fixation.

The investigators expect to see a significant difference in health status and functional outcomes before and after total knee replacement using the Triathlon Tritanium knee.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Scott Sporer at 1 site in United States.

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 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2015. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Scott Sporer, MD (630-933-6254, scottsporer@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiostereometric analysis of tibial and patellar components of the Stryker Triathlon Tritanium at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. (time frame: 3 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 NCT02373761, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2015.
