Clinical Trial Summary

Background: REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ (CORI Robotics) is a computer-assisted orthopaedic surgical navigation and burring system. CORI Robotics is designed to help surgeons in planning and executing certain types of knee surgery involving bone preparation. These types of surgery are called 'unicondylar knee arthroplasty' (UKA) and 'total knee arthroplasty' (TKA).

Purpose:

This study is being carried out to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CORI Robotics. The data collected will be used to meet the post-market clinical follow-up requirement in Europe and to support claims and publications.

Objectives:

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of CORI Robotics in UKA and TKA procedures in achieving post-operative leg alignment to check that the results of the operation are similar to what the surgeon originally planned.

Research participants / locations:

140 research participants will be recruited from up to 8 sites in 4 countries globally (UK, US, Germany and India). There will be 70 patients having UKA surgery and 70 patients having TKA surgery.

• Subject receives bilateral UKA or TKA

• Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, has advanced osteoarthritis or joint disease at the time of surgery and was better suited for an alternate procedure.

• Subject has a condition(s) that may interfere with the TKA or UKA survival or outcome (i.e., Paget's or Charcot's disease, vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, uncontrolled diabetes, moderate to severe renal insufficiency or neuromuscular disease, or an active, local infection).

• Subject in the opinion of the Investigator, has an emotional or neurological condition that would pre-empt their ability or willingness to participate in the study including mental illness, mental retardation, drug or alcohol abuse.

• Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, has a neuromuscular disorder that prohibited control of the index joint.

• Subject is a prisoner or meets the definition of a Vulnerable Subject per ISO 14155 Section 3.55.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Post-operative leg alignment	Post-operative leg alignment via radiographic assessment. Post-operative leg alignment is achieved when the deviation from the subject specific target does not exceed ±3 degrees.	6 weeks
Secondary	Component Alignment - UKA	Component alignment will be assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery in UKA subjects.	6 weeks
Secondary	Component Alignment - TKA	Component alignment will be assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery in TKA subjects	6 weeks
Secondary	Radiographic assessment - UKA	Radiographic assessment on antero-posterior (A/P) and lateral (L) views shall be performed to identify the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis & implant migration in UKA subjects	12 months
Secondary	Radiographic assessment - TKA	Radiographic assessment on antero-posterior (A/P) and lateral (L) views shall be performed to identify the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis & implant migration in TKA subjects	12 months
Secondary	2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) - UKA	The Functional Knee Score is derived from assessments of walking and standing, standard activities, advanced activities, and discretionary activities in UKA subjects. The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales: (1) An "Objective" Knee Score (seven items: 100 points), (2) A Patient Satisfaction Score (five items: 40 points), (3) A Patient Expectation Score (three items: 15 points), and (4) A Functional Activity Score (19 items: 100 points). A higher number is a better outcome.	Pre-op, 6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) - TKA	The Functional Knee Score is derived from assessments of walking and standing, standard activities, advanced activities, and discretionary activities in TKA subjects. The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales: (1) An "Objective" Knee Score (seven items: 100 points), (2) A Patient Satisfaction Score (five items: 40 points), (3) A Patient Expectation Score (three items: 15 points), and (4) A Functional Activity Score (19 items: 100 points). A higher number is a better outcome.	Pre-op, 6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	Oxford Knee Score (OKS) - UKA	To specifically assess the patient's perspective of outcome following knee arthroplasty surgery in UKA subjects. Responses to each question ranges from 0-4 with a range of a possible overall score from 0-48. A score of 0 is the worst possible outcome while a score of 48 is the best possible outcome.	Pre-op, 6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	Oxford Knee Score (OKS) - TKA	To specifically assess the patient's perspective of outcome following knee arthroplasty surgery in TKA subjects. Responses to each question ranges from 0-4 with a range of a possible overall score from 0-48. A score of 0 is the worst possible outcome while a score of 48 is the best possible outcome.	Pre-op, 6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) - UKA	To assess joint-specific patient reported outcomes in UKA subjects. Responses to 12 questions are recorded with a five point Likert response format: "Never", "almost never", "seldom", "sometimes" and "mostly". The item scores are summed and linearly transformed in a 0 to 100 scale and then reversed with a high value reflecting the ability of the subject to forget about the replaced knee joint during the activities of daily living. A score of 100 is the best possible outcome.	6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) - TKA	To assess joint-specific patient reported outcomes in TKA subjects. Responses to 12 questions are recorded with a five point Likert response format: "Never", "almost never", "seldom", "sometimes" and "mostly". The item scores are summed and linearly transformed in a 0 to 100 scale and then reversed with a high value reflecting the ability of the subject to forget about the replaced knee joint during the activities of daily living. A score of 100 is the best possible outcome.	6 week, 6 month and 12 months
Secondary	Five-level EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) VAS & index scores - UKA	To assess the subject's health state in UKA subjects. The EQ-5D-5L is composed of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and the EQ Visual Analogue scale (EQ VAS).; The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression). Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. Responses are coded as single-digit numbers expressing the severity level selected in each dimension. For instance, 'slight problems' (e.g. 'I have slight problems in walking about') is always coded as '2'. The digits for the five dimensions are combined in a 5-digit code. The EQ- 5D-5L index value is derived by using the vendor supplied calculator to convert each 5-digit EQ-5D-5L profile.; The EQ VAS corresponds to a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale raging from 'the best health you can imagine' to 'the worst health you can imagine'.; A higher number is a better outcome.	Pre-op, 6 week, 6 month and 12 months
