What is being measured

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

  1. Posterior condylar offset (PCO)

    Any difference in PCO from preoperative to 6 weeks post-surgery

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Joint line in extension

    Any difference in vertical distance from medial epicondyle to distal medial femoral condyle articular surface from preoperative to 6 weeks post-surgery

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  2. Joint line in flexion

    Any difference in medial joint line position measured using the PCO

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  3. Femoral flexion angle

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  4. Distal femoral component angle

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  5. Tibial component angle

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  6. Tibial slope

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  7. Hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle

    Measured: 6 weeks post-op

  8. Oxford Knee Score (OKS)

    Measured: Up to 24 months post-op

  9. Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Score - Physical Function Shortform (KOOS-PS)

    Measured: Up to 24 months post-op

  10. EuroQoL 5-dimension health state (EQ-5D 5-level)

    Measured: Up to 6 months post-op

  11. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Measured: Up to 6 months post-op

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Unity Knee™ TKR using measured resection and Unity Knee™ TKR using ligament balancing in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee and Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Corin.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Posterior condylar offset (PCO) (time frame: 6 weeks post-op). 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 21 Nov 2018.
