About this study

Official title: Impact of Component Design and Fixation in Bone Remodeling After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to determine implant design and determine if method of fixation cemented versus cementless results in different bone loss patterns. The investigators also want to determine if clinical outcomes correlate with bone density changes.

Read the detailed description

Patients who present to the clinical practices of Dr. Ryan Nunley and Dr. Robert Barrack and are suitable candidates for primary total knee arthroplasty(TKA) type assigned either cemented or cementless and Triathlon knee or Depuy by surgeon will be screened for eligibility and invited to participate. Data collected for the study will include standard of care clinical and radiographic evaluations collected during office visits and surgery, Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry(DEXA) Bone density monitoring, as well as study-specific patient questionnaires. Clinical, radiographic and questionnaire data will be collected pre-operatively, at the time of surgery, and at 6 weeks, 1 year and beyond, and 2 years and beyond post-operatively. Patients will complete the following outcomes questionnaires preoperatively: New Knee Society Score, Oxford Knee Score, UCLA Activity Score, SF-12, and EQ-5D. The following questionnaires will be collected at four to six weeks, six months, one year and beyond, and two years and beyond postoperatively: New Knee Society Score, Forgotten Joint Score, Washington University Knee Satisfaction and Function Questionnaire, Oxford Knee Score, UCLA Activity Score, SF-12, and EQ-5D, and a Pain Drawing.

Being tested
Depuy total knee implant, Triathlon total knee implant

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in bone density

    Patients will have a DEXA scan to look for change in bone loss at 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year to determine bone loss patterns and geometry

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. knee society score

    Knee society score questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Forgotten joint score

    Forgotten join score questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Oxford knee score

    Oxford knee score questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. UCLA Activity score

    UCLA questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. SF-12

    SF-12 questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. EQ-5D

    EQ-5D questionnaire will be completed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasties, Knee Replacement, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 11 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 1 Dec 2021. 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?

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?

Change in bone density (time frame: 2 years). 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 1 Dec 2021.
