About this study

Official title: Application of 3D Printing Patient-specific Instrumentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty

This study aims to design a patient-specific instrumentation to be used in total knee arthroplasty and evaluate its accuracy of femoral component rotation and intramedullary guide so as to explore its clinical effects.

Read the detailed description

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most universal and effective means for treating terminal stage osteoarthritis (OA) of knee. With the development of three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology in the medical domain, the application of patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in arthroplasty has become more common. The aim of this study was to design a PSI to achieve appropriate femoral resection and accurate component rotation for a successful TKA, and to explore its clinical effects.

What participants receive

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

  • 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Intramedullary GuideDevice

    The 3D-printed patient-specific intramedullary guide is used in TKA to control femoral component rotation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the radiological outcomes

    The radiological outcomes include the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), posterior condylar angle (PCA), patella transverse axis-femoral transepicondylar axis angle (PFA) of the patients. The data were collected to evaluate the accuracy of the 3DP-designed PSI.

    Measured: Postoperative 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS)

    Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS) was used to evaluate postoperative recovery of knee function in an adult population. The HSS score system mainly includes 6 aspects as pain, function, muscle force, deformity, stability, and the range of motion. The score standard had a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome). A total score <60 is considered a poor score, 60-69 fair,70-85 is good and 86-100 excellent.

    Measured: Postoperative 1,6,12 months

  2. American Knee Society knee score (AKS)

    The AKS was used to evaluate postoperative recovery of knee function in an adult population. The HSS score system mainly includes 4 aspects as pain, stability, range of motion and the function. The score standard had a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome). A total score <60 is considered a poor score, 60-69 fair,70-85 is good and 86-100 excellent.

    Measured: Postoperative 1,6,12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Intramedullary Guide in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Southwest Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 of the radiological outcomes (time frame: Postoperative 12 months). 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 Dec 2019.
