Trial summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vivo kinematics of TKA performed with two different prosthesis: a kinematic retaining (Physica KR) and a posterior-stabilized (Physica PS) design by means of fluoroscopic analysis during activities of daily living (rising from a chair, stairs climbing, leg extension).

Who may be able to join

  • Patients submitted to Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Physica KR or PS;
  • Patients with an appropriate initial fixation and stability of the knee prosthesis;
  • Patients achieving a minimum flexion of 100° or a Knee Society Score (KSS) ≥ 65 (fair/good postoperative outcome) at 6-month follow-up;

  • Patients who have signed the Ethics Committee approved study-specific Informed Consent Form.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with misalignment or axial malrotation of the knee prosthesis;
  • Patients not able to achieve a minimum flexion of 100° or with a KSS Knee Score ≤ 65 points at 6-month follow-up;
  • Patients who had or have planned a surgery on their uninvolved knee within a year;
  • Muscular insufficiency or absence of muscololigamentous supporting structures required for adequate soft tissue balance;
  • Patients who have significant neurological or musculoskeletal disorders or disease that may adversely affect gait and compromise functional recovery and evaluation;
  • Patients who have neuromuscular or neurosensory deficit which would limit the ability to assess the performance of the device;

About this study

Official title: In Vivo Kinematic Analysis of Total Knee Replacement With a Kinematic Retaining or a Posterior Stabilized Design During Activities of Daily Living

The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vivo kinematics of TKA performed with two different prosthesis: a kinematic retaining (Physica KR) and a posterior-stabilized (Physica PS) design by means of fluoroscopic analysis during activities of daily living (rising from a chair, stairs climbing, leg extension). In comparison with asymptomatic knee. Patterns of femoral rollback will be analyzed to assess if they are motor-task dependent and correlated with clinical outcomes.

Being tested
Physica KR, Physica PS

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the roll-back mechanism measured with the tibio-femoral contact points at different degrees of flexion

    Using a software to replicate the movement using Computer-aided design (CAD) models. The movement is studied and the distance made by the femur on the tibia is calculated giving the information of the roll back.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physica KR and Physica PS in people with Total Knee Replacement, run by Limacorporate S.p.a at 1 site in Italy.

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 9 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 7 Mar 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 Italy. 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?

Assessment of the roll-back mechanism measured with the tibio-femoral contact points at different degrees of flexion (time frame: 6 months). 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 7 Mar 2017.
