Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success rate of the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment with the Triathlon TS Total Knee System at 2 years postoperative, defined as absence of revision of the Femoral Cone Augment or Tibial Cone augment for aseptic loosening.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, open-label, post-market, non-randomized, multi-center clinical evaluation of the Triathlon TS Total Knee System with Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augments for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a consecutive series of patients who meet the eligibility criteria. The revision rate of the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augments is expected to be less than 2.8% for aseptic loosening of either the Femoral or the Tibial Cone Augments at 2 years postoperative. The total enrollment goal for the study is 145 cases have received the Triathlon TS Total Knee System with a Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment. Additionally, between 40-50 cases (within the study population) will receive the Triathlon TS Total Knee System with a Triathlon Tritanium Central Femoral Cone Augment.

Interventions

DEVICETriathlon Tritanium Cone Augments

The Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augments are an extension of the Triathlon Total Stabilizer (TS) system, intended to be used as an optional accessory component in revision TKA.

Inclusion criteria

* Patient has signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approved, study specific Informed Patient Consent Form. * Patient is a male or non-pregnant female, skeletally mature and age 18 years or older at time of study device implantation. * Patient is a candidate for revision of all femoral and tibial components of a total knee replacement. * Patient is willing and able to comply with postoperative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and rehabilitation.

Exclusion criteria

* Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 45. * Patient has an active or suspected latent infection in or about the affected knee joint at time of study device implantation. * Patient has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficiency, which limits the ability to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device. * Patient is diagnosed with a systemic disease (e.g. Lupus Erythematosus) or a metabolic disorder (e.g. Paget's disease) leading to progressive bone deterioration. * Patient is immunologically suppressed or receiving steroids in excess of normal physiological requirements (e.g. \> 30 days). * Patient has a failed unicondylar knee prosthesis. * Patient has a known sensitivity to device materials. * Patient is a prisoner.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cases With Revision of the Femoral Cone Augment or Tibial Cone Augment for Aseptic Loosening.2 yearThe primary efficacy parameter is the revision/removal of femoral cone augment or tibial cone augment for aseptic loosening at 2 years postoperative. Success at 2 years is defined as no incidence of revision/removal of femoral or tibial cone augment for aseptic loosening within 2 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Location and Severity of End-of-stem Pain.2 yearEnd-of-stem pain is determined via a patient questionnaire; 2 questions are asked in regard to shin and thigh pain. Pain for both the shin and thigh are identified using the following categories: * no pain * pain with extreme activity only * pain with moderate activity * pain with normal activity * pain at rest
Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) Classification and Cone Augment Shape.IntraoperativeThe AORI is a bone defect classification which consists of four Types: Type I: Metaphyseal bone is intact, with minor bone defects not compromising component stability. Type IIA: There is metaphyseal bone damage and cancellous bone loss in one femoral/tibial condyle; cement reinforcement, bone grafting or metal augmentation is needed. Type IIB: There is metaphyseal bone damage and cancellous bone loss in both femoral/tibial condyles; cement reinforcement, bone grafting or metal augmentation is needed. Type III: The metaphyseal bone is deficient and a structural allograft or a custom-made, hinged or revision prosthesis with an extended intramedullary stem is needed.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

There were 254 participants / 259 cases that were enrolled in the study (this includes 5 bilateral participants).

Pre-assignment details

Of the 254 participants (259 cases) enrolled, 64 participants (65 cases) were censored from the analysis, per the Sponsor's internal guidelines. Therefore,190 participants (194 cases) who did receive the study device and met protocol criteria, were followed. Those applicable data are reflected in this record.
