About this study

The purpose of the study is to acquire kinematic in vivo fluoroscopy data from subjects who were implanted with the Smith \& Nephew Journey II posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or Journey II bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) TKA. CMR has previously collected data for the Smith \& Nephew BCS TKA and compared these kinematics data to those of normal knees.

Read the detailed description

The objective for this study is to analyze the in vivo kinematics for subjects implanted with either a Journey II PCR or BCR TKA and compare those patterns to subjects having a normal knee from our previous study and to those patterns from subjects having a Smith \& Nephew Journey II BCS TKA.

Being tested
Journey II posterior cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty, Journey II posterior bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Lateral Kinematics Translations While Ascending Ramp

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyles during activity of walking up a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case lateral femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp up). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents anterior motion of the femur, and negative represents posterior rollback of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Medial Kinematics Translations While Ascending Ramp

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of medial femoral condyles during activity of walking up a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case medial femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp up). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents anterior motion of the femur, and negative represents posterior rollback of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Axial Rotation While Ascending Ramp

    Femorotibial axial rotation during activity of walking up a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case femorotibial axial rotation) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp up). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents external rotation of the femur, and negative represents internal rotation of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Lateral Kinematics Translations While Descending Ramp

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyles during activity of walking down a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case lateral femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp down). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents anterior motion of the femur, and negative represents posterior rollback of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Axial Rotation While Descending Ramp

    Femorotibial axial rotation during activity of walking down a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case femorotibial axial rotation) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp down). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity.

Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Lateral Kinematics Translations During Deep Knee Bend

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyles during a deep knee bend. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case lateral femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a deep knee bend). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents anterior motion of the femur, and negative represents posterior rollback of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Medial Kinematics Translations During Deep Knee Bend

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of medial femoral condyles during a deep knee bend. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case medial femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a deep knee bend). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity.

  9. Axial Rotation During Deep Knee Bend

    Femorotibial axial rotation during a deep knee bend. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case femorotibial axial rotation) during the specified activity (in this case a deep knee bend). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents external rotation of the femur, and negative represents internal rotation of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline

  10. Maximum Flexion During Deep Knee Bend

    Maximum weight-bearing femorotibial flexion during a deep knee bend. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case femorotibial range of motion) during the specified activity (in this case a deep knee bend). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive values are the only possible values in this case, representing the magnitude of weight-bearing flexion. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.

    Measured: Baseline
