About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Comparison of Cruciate-retaining and Cruciate Substituting Surgical Technique for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Compare knee flexion after cruciate-retaining and cruciate substituting Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare knee Flexion after cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (posterior stabilized - PS) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).

For this purpose, flexion and extension of the knee joint are measured using a goniometer preoperatively and up to ten years after surgery In addition, the clinical outcome will be assessed and evaluated using internationally recognised and evaluated scores (Knee Society Score, Oxford Knee Score, EQ5D, UCLA Activity Score).

Patients are randomized to receive a PS or CR TKA. Patients are assessed before surgery, after 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years postoperatively.

Being tested
PS TKA, CR TKA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PS TKA and CR TKA in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Technische Universität Dresden at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2024. 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 Germany. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Knee Flexion (time frame: 1 year after surgery). 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 20 Feb 2024.
