Conditions

Osteo Arthritis Knee, Total Knee Arthroplasty

Brief summary

Randomized study comparing surgical and economic parameter of Total Knee Arthroplasty performed using two different specific surgical techniques.

Detailed description

Randomized 1: ratio study comparing Medacta MyKnee surgical technique using Efficiency single use instruments versus Stryker Navigation surgical techniques performed with conventional instruments. MyKnee surgical technique patients will receive a CT scan of the surgical knee which enables custom manufacturing of the MyKnee cutting blocks. Stryker Navigational surgical technique patients will not require a CT scan. Both groups of patients will undergo total knee arthroplasty.

Interventions

DEVICEMyKnee with single use Efficiency Instrument

Total Knee Arthroplasty utilizing a CT scan for customization of cutting blocks with single use instrumentation

DEVICEStryker Navigational with conventional metal instruments

Total Knee Arthroplasty without customization of cutting blocks using conventional metal instruments.
