Brief summary

The objectives of this study are four-fold: 1. To determine the three-dimensional, in vivo kinematics for subjects having either a fixed- or mobile-bearing Press Fit Condylar (PFC) Sigma Total Condylar III Prosthesis, comparing the in vivo kinematics to determine if one implant type leads to a benefit for the patient. 2. To determine if bearing mobility occurs in PFC Sigma Rotating Platform Total Condylar III Prosthesis under in vivo, weight-bearing conditions during multiple activities (gait, stair descent, deep knee bend and chair rise). 3. To determine if there is a correlation between in vivo kinematic data obtained using fluoroscopy, electromyography (EMG) and ground reaction force (GRF) data and determine if variability occurs between these two TKA types. 4. To determine if a clinical benefit is either visibly detected (video camera) or quantifiably determined (questionnaire) for either TKA type.

MeasureTime frameDescription
In Vivo Linear Kinematics for Fixed-bearing and Rotating Platform (RP) TKA System During 4 Weight-bearing Activities.March 2013The values that were reported indicate the motion of the contact point from the start of the activity to the end of the activity. If the point translated forward (anteriorly) atop the tibial tray, the number was reported as positive. If the point traveled backwards (posteriorly) atop the tibial tray, the number was reported as negative.
In Vivo Angular Kinematics for Fixed-bearing and Rotating Platform (RP) TKA System During 4 Weight-bearing Activities.March 2013Angular kinematics for fixed bearing and rotating platform TKA system - Axial Rotation The values that were reported indicate the rotation of the femur atop the tibial tray from the start of the activity to the end of the activity. If the femur rotated externally (posterior rollback of the lateral condyle, generally pivoted about the medial condyle), the number was reported as positive. If the femur rotated internally (anterior slide of the lateral condyle, generally pivoted about the medial condyle), the number was reported as negative.

Outcome results

Primary

In Vivo Angular Kinematics for Fixed-bearing and Rotating Platform (RP) TKA System During 4 Weight-bearing Activities.

Angular kinematics for fixed bearing and rotating platform TKA system - Axial Rotation The values that were reported indicate the rotation of the femur atop the tibial tray from the start of the activity to the end of the activity. If the femur rotated externally (posterior rollback of the lateral condyle, generally pivoted about the medial condyle), the number was reported as positive. If the femur rotated internally (anterior slide of the lateral condyle, generally pivoted about the medial condyle), the number was reported as negative.
