Trial summary

The primary objective is to quantify and compare the three-dimensional kinematics of the cruciate retaining (CR), fixed bearing ATTUNETM TKA to the kinematics of the PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA (both DePuy Synthes, Johnson and Johnson) during daily activities. Read more about this study

Study population: This is a prospective, observational study on 15 subjects with the ATTUNE TM CR Fixed Bearing TKA and 15 subjects with PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA during level walking, deep knee bend (only ATTUNE TM subjects), sitting down onto a chair, standing up from a chair and stair descent. The present study extends the subject groups of a previous feasibility study (KEK-ZH-Nr. 2014-0468) from 5 to 15 ATTUNE TM and from 6 to 15 PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA subjects. Based on a power analysis of the existing data of 5 ATTUNE TM subjects and 6 subjects with a PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA in the previous feasibility study (KEK-ZH-Nr. 2014-0468) the minimal sample size for the comparative evaluation of 15 subjects within each group was estimated. The participants must be able to perform the daily activity tasks mentioned above

About this study

Official title: Kinematics Analysis: Comparison Between the Cruciate Retaining, Fixed Bearing Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty ATTUNE TM Knee System and the Fixed Bearing PFC Sigma Curved Total Knee Arthroplasty

The primary objective is to quantify and compare the three-dimensional kinematics of the cruciate retaining (CR), fixed bearing ATTUNETM TKA to the kinematics of the PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA (both DePuy Synthes, Johnson and Johnson) during daily activities.

The secondary objective is to describe the kinematics in terms of range of motion, patterns of anterior-posterior motion of the nearest medial and lateral points ("posterior femoral rollback") and tibio-femoral internal/external rotation as well as the kinetics during daily activities, such as level gait, a deep knee bend (only ATTUNETM subjects), sitting down onto a chair, standing up from a chair and stair descent by means of video-fluoroscopy.

Furthermore, the encoded data will be handed over to DePuy Synthes (Johnson and Johnson) and to the Center for Orthopaedic Engineering of the University of Denver, where it will be used within a musculoskeletal model with the aim of simulating tibiofemoral contact mechanics and changes in the musculoskeletal system due to the TKA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the three-dimensional kinematics of the cruciate retaining (CR), fixed bearing ATTUNETM TKA to the kinematics of the PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA

    With video-fluoroscopic assessment it is possible to directly measure the kinematics of the tibial and the femoral components in vivo during daily activities, such as level walking, a deep knee bend (only ATTUNETM subjects), sitting down onto a chair, standing up from a chair and stair descent. Thus, for the first time the present study provides in vivo assessed data of the 3D motion of the ATTUNETM System during daily activities and allows a comparison to a conventional TKA based on the same methodology. The knowledge of the in vivo kinematic behaviour of the ATTUNETM System in comparison to the conventional TKA leads to an improved understanding of the design principle.

    Measured: 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Knee Anthroplasty, 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 20 Dec 2019. 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?

Comparison of the three-dimensional kinematics of the cruciate retaining (CR), fixed bearing ATTUNETM TKA to the kinematics of the PFC Sigma Curved CR Fixed Bearing TKA (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 20 Dec 2019.
