Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outliers in alignment of the femoral and tibial prosthesis in the frontal plane, measured on radographs made 6 weeks after operation and compared between the CT-based Signature* procedure and the standard MRI-based Signature* Occurrence (and percentage) of outliers in alignment in the frontal, sagittal and horizontal plane of femoral and tibial components. Occurrence (and percentage) of outliers in alignment of the mechanical axis of the leg. Difference in thickness of the in vivo inserted polyethylene compared to pre-operatively calculated thickness of this insert. Accuracy of the guides | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Operation time Fit, form and practical use of the Signature* alignment guides. Needed change of plans per-operative: change of size of prosthesis, conversion Signature procedure to conventional procedure for any reason | — |
