Brief summary

The Discovery™ Elbow Multi-Center Prospective Study (5-year Study) patients will be consented at the two year or next scheduled follow-up period for the early-enrolled patients.

Detailed description

Eligibility: Patient(s) must be enrolled in the Discovery Multi-Center Prospective Study. The patient must consent to participation in the Discovery Long-term Survivorship Study. In order to continue to follow the multi-center subjects long-term Biomet would like to extend the follow-up to include annual follow-ups from 10 to 15 years to document long-term survivorship. The annual follow-up will be obtained by sending annual questionnaire directly to the patients by mail. The Patient ASES questionnaire and survivorship data questions will be collected.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Derived American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) Pain Score10 Years Post-opThis is the patient's perception of pain related to the operative elbow. Maximum pain score = 50 (worst) Minimum pain score = 0 (best)
Patient Derived American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) Function10 Years Post-opThis is the patient's perception of function. The maximum score is 36 and the minimum score is 0. The maximum score represents maximum function.
Patient Derived American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) Satisfaction10 Years Post-opThis is the patient's perception of satisfaction with the elbow replacement surgery. Maximum Score = 10 Minimum Score = 0 Maximum Score represents maximum satisfaction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Survivorship Will be Measured by the Incidence of Revision or Removals10 years Post-opThe consented Patient will answer specific questions about their elbow replacement such as; if the elbow replacement has been removed

Outcome results

Primary

Patient Derived American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) Function

This is the patient's perception of function. The maximum score is 36 and the minimum score is 0. The maximum score represents maximum function.

Time frame: 10 Years Post-op

Population: The number of participants analyzed in this section is reflective of the number of participants/elbows with the complete data required to calculate this score. This is different than the number reflected in participant flow which is indicative of the number of participants/elbows with any data during the given interval.

The consented Patient will answer specific questions about their elbow replacement such as; if the elbow replacement has been removed

Time frame: 10 years Post-op

Population: This analysis cannot be conducted due to the low number of cases available with 10 year data. There is not sufficient data to calculate survivorship. This study is being terminated since the product has been sold to another company.
