About this study

Official title: Comparison of Computer-Assisted Navigation and Conventional Instrumentation for Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: The Functional Outcome of Mid-Term Follow-up Study

To compare the functional outcomes of Computer-Assisted Navigation (CAS) and Conventional Instrumentation TKA at the 8-year follow-up.

Read the detailed description

The data of the present study was collected from the review of the medical chart of the patients who were scheduled to undergo staged bilateral TKA and randomly assigned to receive Computer-Assisted Navigation (CAS) TKA in one limb and conventional TKA. Then, comparing the functional outcomes of CAS and Conventional Instrumentation was performed by statistical software.

Being tested
Computer-Assisted Navigation TKA

What is being measured

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

  1. International Knee Society (IKS)

    To assess the functional outcome of TKA by self-explanatory questionnaire

    Measured: up to 8-year follow-up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Radiographic evaluation

    Standard anteroposterior, lateral radiographs of the knee and standing long-leg radiographs of the lower extremity were obtained pre- and postoperatively. The lower extremities were fully extended so that the tibial tuberosities were facing forward and the lateral malleoli were 15 cm apart to ensure that the tibia was vertical and facing forward with minimal rotation. The X-ray beam (20-25 mA/s; 80-85 kV) was centered at the knee joint level at a distance of 120-140 cm.Radiographic data included the mechanical axis angle and the four component alignments described by Ewald: the femoral valgus (FV) angle; tibial valgus angle (TV); femoral flexion (FF) angle; and tibial flexion angle (TF)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after operation

  2. Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Questionnaire

    To assess the functional outcome of TKA by self-explanatory questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 8-year follow-up

  3. Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    To assess the functional outcome of TKA by self-explanatory questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 8-year follow-up

  4. Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey

    To assess the functional outcome of TKA by self-explanatory questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, 8-year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthropathy of Knee Joint, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 13 Sep 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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?

International Knee Society (IKS) (time frame: up to 8-year follow-up). 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 13 Sep 2018.
