Osteoarthritis, Knee
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system.
Detailed description
Objective: To compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system. Endpoint: Primary: The alignment accuracy of the knee femoral and tibial components at 6 months for the investigational group compared to the control group. Secondary:Health Status after TKA, Operating Room efficiency and Complication rate after TKA for the investigational group compared to the control group.
Interventions
Osteoarthritis will be enrolled and randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups. Patients in investigational group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty and the accelerometer-based navigational device. Patients in control group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty with conventional instrumentation.
Damaged cartilage due to degerative arthritis is replaced by knee joint prosthesis.
Osteotomy of TKA is navigated by iAssist system, iAssist requires pin inserted in bone.

Study design
Masking description
Persona TKA with iASSIST Knee system (Investigational group) or Persona TKA with conventional instrumentation (Control group). The randomization scheme is based on equal numbers per group. The randomization will occur via a random number generator (computer) using blocked randomization procedure. The PI or his/her team does not have influence on the randomization scheme. Sealed opaque envelopes, which will be prepared based on predetermined randomization assignment, will be provided to each study site before study initiation.
Intervention model description
At surgery, intervention group using iASSIST Knee system. At surgery, conventional group not using iASSIST Knee system.
