Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients scheduled to undergo primary total knee replacement with any of the following indications Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis. One or more compartments are involved, as assessed by X-ray. High need to obtain pain relief and improve function, Above 18 years old (full skeletal maturity) Body-mass-index (BMI)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * Active infection in knee * General infection * Distant foci of infections which may spread to the implant site * Failure of previous joint replacement * Pregnancy * Previous major knee surgery, except for arthroscopic meniscectomy. * Metal near knee joint (MRI-scan not possible) * Not able or willing to undergo MRI-scan and CT-scan
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the preoperatively planned, computer-based Signature* alignment plan with the actual achieved alignment in the frontal, coronal and sagittal plane in vivo postoperatively of both the femur and tibia components of the total knee arthroplasty. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the occurrence (and percentage) of outliers in alignment in the frontal, sagittal and horizontal plane of femoral and tibial components. To determine the occurrence (and percentage) of outliers in alignment of the mechanical axis of the leg. Verify the fit, form and practical use of the Signature* alignment guides. Verify to what extend the thickness of the in vivo inserted polyethylene corresponds with the pre-operatively calculated thickness of this insert. | — |
