Effects of Navigation Versus Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty on

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established modality for the treatment of advanced knee osteoarthritis with high satisfaction rate. However, the traditional cutting jigs for distal femur cutting inevitably violates the medullary canal of femoral bone. The process of intramedullary reaming for the insertion of distal femur cutting jigs stimulated the dissipation of marrow emboli that reported lead to increased risk of myocardial infarction or cardiac stress perioperatively. There are emerging refinements aiming to reduce the insult to the medullary canal of the distal femur as well as to improve the prosthetic alignment, such as navigation assisted TKA or robotic surgery.

In addition to better prosthetic alignment, computer-assisted navigation TKAs also mitigate perioperative blood loss and systemic emboli. The publication previously published by the investigators showed that navigation TKAs can lead to lesser extent of elevation of endothelial injury markers than the traditional TKAs. However, the detrimental effects of intramedullary reaming seem to be multi-dimensional and the whole picture has not been elucidated clearly at present.

Previous studies have shown that operative trauma can trigger marked immune responses. Operative procedures can simultaneously stimulate the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response, with 80% of the leucocyte transcriptome being affected. Most studies of hip or knee surgery found that operation-triggered immune reactions are associated with postoperative recovery, infection, and even mortality.

The navigation TKAs avoid the process of intra-medullary reaming, which is the mandatory part of conventional TKA for the distal femur cutting. The investigators hypothesize that the reaming process may exert substantial inflammatory response, which can be manifested by higher level of inflammatory markers in the serum and hemovac drainage samples obtained from the participants undergoing conventional TKAs.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
