Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is the assessment of prosthetic migration results after two years of the Triathlon PS Knee System with all-polyethylene tibial components compared to the Triathlon PS Knee System with metal-backed modular components by means of Roentgen Stereophotogrammetry.

Description:

The secondary objective will be the prediction of the long-term survival based on the two-year migration patterns combined with clinical factors and radiographic aspects. In order to identify other clinical parameters besides the fixation of the prosthesis components, clinical scores and radiographic aspects will be correlated with the RSA outcome.

Eligibility

1. The subject is morbidly obese, defined as Body Mass Index (BMI) of > 40. 2. Patient has a flexion contracture of 15° and more. 3. Patient has a varus/valgus contracture of 15° and more. 4. Patients with a pre-operative knee score of >70. 5. The subject has a history of total or unicompartmental reconstruction of the affected joint. 6. The subject will be operated bilaterally. 7. Patients who had a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) on contralateral and/or ipsilateral side within the last year that is considered to have an unsatisfactory outcome (Patients with contralateral and/or ipsilateral THA > 1 year ago with good outcome can be included in the study). 8. Patients who had a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) on contralateral side within the last 6 months that is considered to have an unsatisfactory outcome. (Patients with contralateral TKA > 6 months ago with good outcome can be included in the study). 9. The subject has an active or suspected latent infection in or about the knee joint. 10. Osteomyelitis 11. Sepsis 12. Patient who is expected to need lower limb joint replacement for another joint within one year. 13. The subject has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficiency, which would limit the ability to assess the performance of the device. 14. The subject has a systemic or metabolic disorder leading to progressive bone deterioration. 15. The subject is immunologically suppressed or receiving steroids in excess of normal physiological requirements. 16. The subject's bone stock in compromised by disease or infection which cannot provide adequate support and/or fixation to the prosthesis. 17. The subject has had a knee fusion to the affected joint. 18. Female patients planning a pregnancy during the course of the study. 19. The patient is unable or unwilling to sign the Informed Consent specific to this study

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Migration, measured by means of RSA	Migration (MTPM in mm) of the prosthesis with respect to the host bone measured by means of roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA)	2 years
Secondary	Migration, measured by means of RSA	Migration (MTPM in mm) of the prosthesis with respect to the host bone measured by means of roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA)	10 years
Secondary	Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with the Knee Society Score (KSS)	The Knee Society Clinical Rating System is comprised of two distinct sub-scores: one for pain, range of motion (ROM) and joint stability, and one for functional parameters. Sub-scores range from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.	pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) patient questionnaire	KOOS consists of 5 subscales: Pain, other symptoms, function in daily living , function in sport and recreation and knee related quality of life (QOL). The previous week is the time period considered when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question is assigned a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms).	pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with EuroQuol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) patient questionnaire	The EQ-5D health questionnaire provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status.	pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Investigation of clinical performance and patient outcome with the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) patient questionnaire.	The FJS consists of 12 questions and focuses on the patients' awareness of their joint replacement during a range of day to day and recreational activities. The score has a range of 0-100.questionnaire	pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Investigation of patient outcome with radiographic analysis	Plain radiographs will be obtained for assessment of fixation of the device.	pre-operative, 3 months, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
