A Single-Center, Epidemiological Study of the Survivorship of the DePuy Sigma HP Unicompartmental Knee Prosthesis

March 20, 2018 updated by: Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center

Two and Five-Year Survivorship of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Using DePuy Sigma HP Replacement

This study will be conducted to assess the survivorship of a particular prosthesis used in unicompartmental knee arthroplasties. Patients undergoing this procedure have been diagnosed with isolated medial or lateral compartmental arthritis and have failed conservative treatment. The patients received a unicompartmental knee replacement using the Sigma® HP Partial Knee System.

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is an epidemiological Level IV-Case Series clinical study that will study the survivorship of the Sigma® HP Partial Knee System in a consecutive series of patients. All patients who received the Sigma® HP Partial Knee System between August 21, 2008 and October 31, 2009 will be available to include in the study. Data will be collected preoperatively, intra-operatively, and post-operatively at intervals of 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years. Data will be analyzed for survivorship status at the 2- and 5-year follow-up visits. Other data, including functional outcomes, radiographic outcomes, and wear will be analyzed at the 5-year follow-up visit. Subjects will participate in the study for five years after their surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Since the first Sigma® HP Partial Knee System was introduced at MSMOC, over 1,000 have been implanted in patients by the investigators of this study. The population used for this study was the first patients of our clinic to receive this particular prosthesis. The first replacement was implanted on August 21, 2008. By October 31, 2009, 300 patients had received the Sigma® HP replacement. These 300 patients will be the subject population whose data will be analyzed for the study upon their consent.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patient over the age of 18
  • Diagnosis of isolated medial or lateral compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee joint
  • Must have failed conservative treatment and received a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty between August 21, 2008 and October 31, 2009.
  • Must have received the Sigma® HP Partial Knee System.
  • Must have received the surgery from Dr. Almand, Dr. Johnson, or Dr. Pickering at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center.
  • Must be willing to provide written consent to participate in the study.
  • Subjects who do not have the legal capacity to consent may be enrolled in the study by a Legally Authorized Representative (LAR). The LAR must provide verification that they have the legal authority to represent the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Did not receive a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty between August 21, 2008 and October 31, 2009.
  • Did not receive a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty using the Sigma® HP Partial Knee.
  • Did not receive their unicompartmental knee replacement from Dr. Almand, Dr. Johnson, or Dr. Pickering at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center.
  • Subjects lost to follow-up for any reason including, but not limited to: refusal to consent, death, or geographic isolation will also be excluded from the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Five-Year Survivorship
Time Frame: Five Years Post-Op
The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the five-year survivorship of the Sigma® HP Partial Knee System with failure defined as revision for any reason.
Five Years Post-Op

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Five-Year Survivorship Alternately Defining Failure and Two-Year Survivorship
Time Frame: Two Years and Five Years Post-Op

One secondary endpoint of the study is to determine the five-year survivorship of the prosthesis with alternately defining failure as: failure of implant, failure secondary to infection, failure secondary to progression of arthritis, failure secondary to periprosthetic fracture.

We also want to determine the two-year survivorship with failure defined as revision for any reason.
Two Years and Five Years Post-Op
Functional Outcomes
Time Frame: Five Years Post-Op
Another secondary endpoint of the study is to analyze the functional outcomes for five-year data based on the Knee Society score and the KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) score, reported as changes from the pre-operative score. By using both rating systems, an appropriate evaluation of the functional outcome of the surgery should be obtained.
Five Years Post-Op
Radiographic Outcomes
Time Frame: Pre-Operatively, Two and Five-Year Post-Op
Another secondary endpoint of the study is to determine the radiographic outcomes based upon the radiographic assessment using the Knee Society scoring system, reported as changes from the pre-operative assessment. Additionally, we want to radiographically assess lucencies at the bone cement and implant cement interface to measure wear and loosening of the prosthesis.
Pre-Operatively, Two and Five-Year Post-Op
Adverse Advents
Time Frame: Post-Operatively
We also want to examine the type and frequency of adverse events as a secondary endpoint of the study. Safety will be evaluated with summary of adverse events.
Post-Operatively
