Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a prospective, non-randomized, longitudinal study of the clinical outcomes of participants that receive the Stryker Triathlon® Total Knee System for Total Knee Arthroplasty implanted using ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides.

Health status and functional outcome measures will be recorded to quantify functional status of subjects before surgery and at each follow-up interval. This sub-study involved the assessment of the placement of the ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides intraoperatively and post-operatively. An assessment of post-operative patient outcomes compared to pre-operative status was also analysed.

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

ShapeMatch Cutting Guides with Triathlon; The ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides are intended to be used as patient-specific surgical instrumentation to assist in the positioning of knee arthroplasty components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting. They are intended for single use only.

Device: ShapeMatch Cutting Guides with Triathlon; All participants will undergo medical imaging assessment using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the affected lower limb.These images will be used to manufacture the patient-specific cutting guides for preparation of the bones prior to implantation of the total knee replacement (Pre-operatively). Patients will undergo primary total knee arthroplasty with the Triathlon® Total Knee System (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ USA) using the Shapematch cutting guides to guide the bone resection. Patients will follow the standard postoperative rehabilitation program established by the investigator at each site.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Implant Location/Assessment of Alignment [ Time Frame: 3 months Post-Operatively ]
   Implant location and limb alignment is assessed using CT scan 3 months after surgery. The mean deviation of the postoperative femoral and tibial alignment from the preoperative plan is measured in degrees.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)_Pain [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years post-operative ]
   KOOS consists of 5 subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee related Quality of life (QOL). The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.)
2. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)_Symptoms [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years post-operative ]
   KOOS consists of 5 subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee related Quality of life (QOL). The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.)
3. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)_ADL [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years post-operative ]

The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.)
4. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)_S&R [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
   KOOS consists of 5 subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee related Quality of life (QOL). The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4.

5. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)_QOL [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years post-operative ]
   KOOS consists of 5 subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee related Quality of life (QOL). The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.)
6. Short Form Health Survey 12 v2 (SF-12)_Physical Component Summary (PCS) [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
   SF-12 provides a summary measure of health status after combining the physical health score (PCS) and mental health score (MCS). The SF-12 Health Survey is a 12 item participant completed questionnaire to measure general health and well-being. It includes a physical and mental status component score: each ranging from 0 to 100 points. Low values represent a poor health state and high values represent a good health state.
7. VAS Pain at Rest [ Time Frame: Pre-Operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
   Pain at rest and pain during mobilization was measured using a 10 centimeter Visual analogue scale (VAS). Participants are asked to indicate their level of pain with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain.
8. VAS Pain Mobilised [ Time Frame: Pre-Operative to 5 years post-operative ]
   Pain at rest and pain during mobilization was measured using a 10 centimeter Visual analogue scale (VAS). Participants are asked to indicate their level of pain with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain.
9. Short Form Health Survey 12 (SF-12)_Mental Component Summary (MCS) [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
   SF-12 provides a summary measure of health status after combining the physical health score (PCS) and mental health score (MCS). The SF-12 Health Survey is a 12 item participant completed questionnaire to measure general health and well-being. It includes a physical and mental status component score: each ranging from 0 to 100 points. Low values represent a poor health state and high values represent a good health state.
10. Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS) Pain Scores [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
    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 minimum score of 0 to a maximum of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.
11. Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS) Functional Scores [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
    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 minimum score of 0 to a maximum of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.
12. Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS) Range of Motion Scores [ Time Frame: Pre-operative to 5 years Post-Operative ]
    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 minimum score of 0 to a maximum of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.
13. Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) [ Time Frame: 1 to 5 years Post-Operative ]
    The Forgotten Joint Score is a newly-developed twelve-item, self-reported assessment of how aware recipients of hip and knee joint replacement are of their joint in everyday life. The total score for the FJS is summed, averaged then multiplied by 25 (never = 0 points; almost never = 1 point; seldom = 2 points; sometimes = 3 points; mostly = 4 points). Total score range of 0 to 100.
