Trial summary

The use of bilateral total knee replacements (TKR) is increasing with the number of patients with bilateral end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Bilateral TKR can be performed in three different ways: single-stage, two-team simultaneous bilateral TKR (two surgeons bilateral TKR); single-stage, a sequential bilateral TKR… Read more about this study

About this study

The use of bilateral total knee replacements (TKR) is increasing with the number of patients with bilateral end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Bilateral TKR can be performed in three different ways: single-stage, two-team simultaneous bilateral TKR (two surgeons bilateral TKR); single-stage, a sequential bilateral TKR (single surgeon bilateral TKR); and two-stage bilateral TKR. Periprosthetic joint (PJI) infections are serious complications after TKR that negatively affect the aimed outcome, decrease patient satisfaction, and increase morbidity and mortality. The incidence of PJI is 1-2% and the number of cases is projected to grow as the indications for TKR continue to increase. Investigators will prospectively compare the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection between groups.

Read the detailed description

924 knees (462 participants) will prospectively be randomized into 2 groups: two surgeons bilateral TKA and single surgeon bilateral TKA. While 2 surgeons will perform simultaneous total knee arthroplasty in the two surgeons' bilateral TKA group, one surgeon will perform sequentially in the single surgeon bilateral TKA group. The primary outcome is to compare the incidence of PJI between the groups. Secondary, logistic regression use to estimate the effect of two surgeons bilateral TKA and single surgeon bilateral TKA on the likelihood of a patient being infected.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty and Sequenced bilateral TKA in people with Infection Joint and Joint Infection, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Infection incedence (time frame: 90 days). 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 4 Jun 2020.
