Brief summary

Patients will be consecutively enrolled by implant. Implant groups will be those who have undergone surgery with either a ConforMIS iTotal® CR TKA or an Off-the- Shelf (OTS) system. The patient will conduct functional testing and answer questionnaires. The results will compare the ConforMIS iTotal with an Off the Shelf Knee replacement.

Detailed description

To compare functional and patient reported outcome data for a consecutively enrolled group of subjects who have undergone surgery with either a ConforMIS iTotal® CR TKA or an Off-the- Shelf (OTS) system.The person conducting the functional testing will be blinded to the device implanted. Sites will perform the off-the-shelf total knees conventional instrumentation.

Interventions

DEVICEOff the Shelf Total Knee Replacement

A knee replacement system by DePuy, Zimmer, Biomet, Smith & Nephew, or Stryker

DEVICEConforMIS iTotal Knee Replacement

A knee replacement performed with patient specific implant and surgical jigs.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion: * Clinical condition included in the approved Indications For Use for the iTotal CR * Osteoarthritis, as confirmed by the investigator's assessment of disease status at screening visit that warrants a TKR procedure. Disease status is assessed by Clinical and Radiographic assessment * Willingness to participate in the clinical study, to give informed consent and to attend all follow-up visits * \> 18 years of age Exclusion: * Subject will require a simultaneous bilateral procedure * Other lower extremity surgery within 1 year * Severe (\> 15º) fixed valgus or varus deformity * Severe (\> 15º) extension deficit * Severe instability due to advanced loss of osteochondral structure * Loss of bone or musculature, osteoporosis, neuromuscular or vascular compromise in the area of the joint to be operated on to an extent that the procedure is unjustified * Insufficient bone stock on the femoral or tibial surfaces * Contralateral knee replacement surgery within the past 6 months * BMI \> 40 * Active malignancy (defined as a history of any invasive malignancy - except non-melanoma skin cancer), unless patient has been treated with curative intent and there have been no clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for at least 5 years * Poorly controlled diabetes (defined as HbA1c \>7 or surgeon discretion) * Immunocompromised * Other physical disability affecting the hips, spine, or contralateral knee that limits function * Disabling chronic pain with narcotic dependence * Compromised PCL or collateral ligament * Prior history of failed implant surgery of the joint to be treated, including Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), or Bicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (BKA) * Prior history of failed high tibial osteotomy (HTO) * Participation in another clinical study which would confound results * Inability to complete the protocol in the opinion of the clinical staff due to safety or other reasons

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Functional Activities Subscale Score Within the Knee Society Score (KSS) Measure1 yearComparing the functional testing differences between iTotal and off the shelf. Total Functional Activities Score - a subscale within the Knee Society Score (KSS) with its individual subscale score. The Total Functional Activities Score subscale interprets the functional knee health of each patient via a series of tests such as walking/standing (30 points), standard activities (30 points), advanced activities (25 points), and sports/recreational activities (15 points). Deductions to score are made for factors that limit a patient's mobility, such as needing to use an ambulatory device. The subscale scoring system ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better knee function.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Satisfaction Subscale Score Within the Knee Society Score (KSS) Measure1 yearMeasuring and comparing the differences between iTotal and off the shelf knees with patient reported outcomes. Patient Satisfaction, a subscale within the Knee Society Score (KSS), was utilized to capture this metric. The Patient Satisfaction subscale combines scores given for certain responses (very satisfied, satisfied, neutral, somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied) across 5 questions. These questions are designed to determine the level of satisfaction a patient has with their implant across both everyday and active activities. This score ranges from 0-40, with higher scores indicating higher levels of patient satisfaction.

Recruitment details

While Biomet Total Knee Replacement and Smith and Nephew Total Knee Replacement Arms/Groups were listed as possible study groups, no included patients utilized these implant systems. This included patients who failed to meet screening criteria, failed to reach the protocol's required follow-up duration, etc. These arms/groups were only established before the study to represent the possible study groups based on available implant systems on the market.
