Patients will be consecutively enrolled by implant. Implant groups will be those who have undergone surgery with either a ConforMIS iTotal® CR TKA or an Off-the- Shelf (OTS) system.
The patient will conduct functional testing and answer questionnaires.
The results will compare the ConforMIS iTotal with an Off the Shelf Knee replacement.

- Functional Testing [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Comparing the functional testing differences between iTotal and off the shelf
- Patient reported outcome using questionnaires such as the KOOS and VAS [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measuring and comparing the differences between iTotal and off the shelf knees with patient reported outcomes.
- Incidents of major procedure-related and device related complications (including revision rates) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare revision rates between groups
- Post-operative limb alignment based using x-ray views [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare post-operative limb alignment between two groups

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion:
- Clinical condition included in the approved Indications For Use for the iTotal CR
- Osteoarthritis, as confirmed by the investigator's assessment of disease status at screening visit that warrants a TKR procedure. Disease status is assessed by Clinical and Radiographic assessment
- Willingness to participate in the clinical study, to give informed consent and to attend all follow-up visits
- > 18 years of age
Exclusion:
- Subject will require a simultaneous bilateral procedure
- Other lower extremity surgery within 1 year
- Severe (> 15º) fixed valgus or varus deformity
- Severe (> 15º) extension deficit
- Severe instability due to advanced loss of osteochondral structure
- Loss of bone or musculature, osteoporosis, neuromuscular or vascular compromise in the area of the joint to be operated on to an extent that the procedure is unjustified
- Insufficient bone stock on the femoral or tibial surfaces
- Contralateral knee replacement surgery within the past 6 months
- BMI > 40
- Active malignancy (defined as a history of any invasive malignancy - except non-melanoma skin cancer), unless patient has been treated with curative intent and there have been no clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for at least 5 years
- Poorly controlled diabetes (defined as HbA1c >7 or surgeon discretion)
- Immunocompromised
- Other physical disability affecting the hips, spine, or contralateral knee that limits function
- Disabling chronic pain with narcotic dependence
- Compromised PCL or collateral ligament
- Prior history of failed implant surgery of the joint to be treated, including Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), or Bicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (BKA)
- Prior history of failed high tibial osteotomy (HTO)
- Participation in another clinical study which would confound results
- Inability to complete the protocol in the opinion of the clinical staff due to safety or other reasons
