About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Zimmer® Patient Specific Instrumentation vs. Conventional Instrumentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty Procedures: Clinical and Economic Outcomes

Compare OR resource use and clinical Outcome after Total Knee Arthroplasty using Patient-specific or conventional Instrumentation.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to compare OR resource use and clinical Outcome after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) using Patient-specific (PSI) or conventional Instrumentation.

For this purpose, economic variables of the surgery (number of instrument trays, setup and cut-sew-time), radiological alignment and patient reported outcomes (VAS Pain Scale, Oxford Knee Score, EQ-5D) were assessed. Cost per QALY (quality-adjusted life year) was assessed using the German DRG reimbursement and the EQ-5D.

A total of 139 TKA with PSI or conventional instrumentation were included in three Centers and were assessed before surgery, as well as 6 weeks, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PSIProcedure or surgery

    Implantation of a Total Knee Arthroplasty patient-specific instrumentation using Zimmer® NexGen Solutions (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN).

  • ConventionalProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. OR time

    Operating Room (OR) time: incision to Close in minutes

    Measured: during surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. OR resource use: number of instrument trays

    OR Efficiency measured by number of instrument trays used

    Measured: during surgery

  2. OR Setup Time

    Operating Room (OR) Setup Time in minutes

    Measured: during surgery

  3. Oxford Knee Score

    clinical outcome measured by the Oxford Knee Scoring System. The Oxford Knee Score is aggregated to a single score where 0 is the worst and 48 is the best Outcome.

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  4. visual analog scale (VAS)

    patient-reported pain scores as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (worst) to 10 (best).

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  5. device alignment

    device alignment as determined using radiographs (A/P long-standing and lateral films)

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

  6. EQ-5D-3L

    patients' health-related Quality of life is measured by the EQ-5D-3L, which aggregates to a single index where 0 is the worst and 1 is the best outcome

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PSI and Conventional in people with Gonarthrosis, run by Technische Universität Dresden at 3 sites 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 5 inclusion and 15 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 3 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

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?

OR time (time frame: during 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 3 Oct 2019.
