About this study

Official title: In Vivo Kinematics for Subjects Implanted With Klassic TKA

In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been implanted with a Total Joint Orthopedics Klassic knee system by Dr. Aaron Hofmann of the Hofmann Arthritis Institute's Center for Precision Joint Replacement. This is the location from which all participants will be recruited and where fluoroscopy data collection will occur. Participants will undergo fluoroscopic surveillance of their implanted knee using a C-arm fluoroscopic unit while performing a deep knee bend activity at least six months post-operatively.

Read the detailed description

Enrollment will be increased to 24 subjects to ensure that researchers acquire the necessary 20 usable datasets for analysis and also to account for any subjects that may drop out of the study. At present, all TKA available for surgeons to use are asymmetric where there is a distinct femoral and tibial component for the left knee and a distinct femoral and tibial component for the right knee. The Klassic knee system is a symmetrical knee implant, where the same femoral and same tibial component can be used for either the right or left knee. The kinematics for the 20 knees will be analyzed, including condylar roll-back, axial rotation, range of motion, and condylar lift-off

Klassic TKASubjects implanted with a Klassic TKA. Subjects will undergo flouoroscopic evaluation during a deep knee bend evaluation and the postoperative kinematics will be reported.
Receives: Device: Klassic Knee System

What is being measured

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

  1. Axial Rotation (AR) During Deep Knee Bend

    Rotation of femoral component with respect to tibial component during deep knee bend. Positive indicated external rotation of femur wrt tibia.

    Measured: at least 6 months post-operative

  2. Maximum Weight-bearing Flexion During Deep Knee Bend

    Maximum weight-bearing flexion that the subjects are able to achieve during deep knee bend. All values are positive.

    Measured: at least 6 months post-operative

  3. Medial Condyle Translations During Deep Knee Bend Activity.

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of medial femoral condyle during deep knee bend. Positive indicates anterior sliding and negative indicates posterior rollback.

    Measured: at least 6 months post-operative

  4. Lateral Condyle Translations During Deep Knee Bend Activity

    Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyle during deep knee bend. Positive indicates anterior sliding and negative indicates posterior rollback.

    Measured: at least 6 months post-operative

Individual data sharing
No: Researchers would like to retain this study data in our secure database so as to continue to add relevant, current data to our digital collection to help us work with manufacturers in the future to create better implants that last longer and will not require revision surgery. Participants will be asked if their study data may remain a part of the University of Tennessee's Center for Musculoskeletal Research data collection for use in future studies in the IC. Identifiers are automatically removed by the secure server after data are uploaded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Knee Arthroplasty and Osteo Arthritis Knee, run by The University of Tennessee, Knoxville 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 15 Nov 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Nov 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Axial Rotation (AR) During Deep Knee Bend (time frame: at least 6 months post-operative). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Nov 2019.
