About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Study of Patellar Resurfacing and Non-resurfacing in One-stage Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty

The literature regarding resurfacing of the patella in total knee arthroplasty has conflicting conclusions. This study assesses medium-term clinical results of total knee arthroplasties performed with and without the patellar resurfacing in patients undergoing single-staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty in a randomized controlled, clinical study at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Sixty-six patients (132 knees) underwent primary single-staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Patients were randomized to receive resurfacing or retention of the patella. All patients received the Scorpio NRG knee prosthesis. Evaluations were done preoperatively and yearly, up to a minimum of 5 years postoperatively. Knee Society Score and Feller Score outcomes were measured. Anterior knee pain, the clunk of patella, and patient satisfaction questionnaires were completed.

Being tested
the patella was resurfaced.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in the Feller score

    The Feller score consists four parts.Total score is 30 score (0-30) and the higher values represent a better outcome. The Feller score has points for Anterior knee pain (0 worst-15 best), quadriceps strength (1 worst -5 best) , ability to rise from chairand stability(0 worst-5 best )and stair-climbing(2 worst-5 best ). The scores from each item are summed to produce a total score

    Measured: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years

  2. Change From Baseline in visual analogue scale (VAS)

    The Visual analogue scale (VAS)is ranging from 0 to 10 points, with 0 being no pain and 10 being maximum pain.The higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years

  3. Change From Baseline in knee society score ( KSS)

    The knee society score ( KSS) which consists of a 100-point scale for knee score and 100-point score for function score. The knee score has points for pain (0 worst -50 best ), range of motion (0 worst -25 best ) and stability (0 worst -25 best ). scores from each item are summed to produce a total score .The function score has points for walking ability (0 worst -50 best ) and stair climbing ability (0 worst -50 best ), scores from each item are summed to produce a total score.The knee score and the function score are recorded respectively.The higher values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years

  4. Change From Baseline in anteroposterior long weight-bearing X-ray

    anteroposterior long weight-bearing X-ray

    Measured: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years

  5. Change From Baseline in MOS item short from health survey(SF-36)

    The MOS item short from health survey(SF-36) was constructed to survey health status in the Medical Outcomes Study. The SF-36 was designed for use in clinical practice and research, health policy evaluations, and general population surveys. The SF-36 includes one multi-item scale that assesses eight health concepts: 1) limitations in physical activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems; 4) bodily pain; 5) general mental health (psychological distress and well-being); 6) limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7) vitality (energy and fatigue); and 8) general health perceptions.

    Measured: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the patella was resurfaced. in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Liaocheng People's Hospital.

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 3 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 27 Jul 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 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 From Baseline in the Feller score (time frame: Baseline,1,2,3,4 and 5 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03600922, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jul 2018.
