About this study

Official title: The Incidence of Anterior Knee Pain Between Unisex Knee Prosthesis and Gender Specific Knee Prosthesis Following Minimally Invasive Surgery Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Unisex knee prosthesis and patient specific knee prosthesis has the same anterior knee pain and patellar tracking

Read the detailed description

Background:The anterior knee pain (AKP) is one of major problem of TKA. The incidence of anterior knee after TKA was 4% to 49%. The cause of AKP after TKA from surgical technique errors including joint line elevation, instability, malalignment of prosthesis, and maltracking of patella. However, AKP still has presented even high volume surgeon that prosthesis had good alignment and good stability, one of the risk factor is female. Due to female has higher Q-angle, greater anteroposterior (AP)/mediolateral(ML) ratio, smaller anterior condyle, and trochlea has higher degree of valgus angle than male. Therefore, female should has AKP even surgery with good surgical technique. The gender specific knee prosthesis was design for female to restore Q-angle, reduce anteroposterior (AP)/mediolateral(ML) ratio for reducing overhang of femoral component, increase valgus angle of trochlea groove, and reduce thickness of anterior part of prosthesis for prevention overstuff with patella. For these reasons, the gender specific knee prosthesis should reduce AKP and improve patellar tracking in female. And there is no study to compare AKP and patellar tracking between Unisex knee prosthesis and gender specific knee prosthesis following minimally invasive surgery (MIS) TKA.

Investigators asked whether AKP and patellar tracking differ between unisex knee prosthesis and gender specific knee prosthesis following MIS TKA with patellar resurfacing.

Methods:The participants were randomized into 2 groups (Gp) with computer program to make a list of random numbers of participant. Gp1 was gender specific knee prosthesis; consisted of 40 participants (40 knees) and Gp2 was unisex knee prosthesis; consisted of 40 participants (40 knees). The sample size was calculate base on anterior knee pain after TKA with a risk difference of 27% (3% versus 20%) (1,3). The 40 participants from each group would have 90% power at the 5% significant level.

Patrticipants were follow up at 2 wks, 6 wks, 3 mo, 6mo, 1 year and 2 years. At each follow up, the % anterior knee pain, VAS for anterior knee pain were record. The knee society score also was recorded and compared between two group.

All participants were operated with same surgeon and same instrumentation.

What is being measured

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

  1. anterior knee pain

    Visual analog scale for pain ( 0= no pain to 10= maximum pain), incidence for anterior knee pain (percent)

    Measured: 4 years

  2. patellar tracking

    patellar tilt > 5 degrees and/or patellar shift> 5 mm= patellar maltracking

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. clinical outcome score

    knee society score (0-20= poor outcomes, 21-40=fair outcomes, 41-60= good outcomes, 61-80= very good outcomes, 81-100= excellent outcome)

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gender Solution®posterior stabilized NexGen® LPS Hi-Flex; Zimmer Biomet, Inc, Warsaw, IN, USA and standard posterior stabilized NexGen® LPS Hi-Flex; Zimmer Biomet, Inc, Warsaw, IN, USA in people with Osteo Arthritis Knee and Knee Pain Chronic, run by Thammasat University.

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 4 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 16 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

anterior knee pain (time frame: 4 years). The study lists 2 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 16 Sep 2021.
