March 26, 2020 updated by: Maxx Orthopedics Inc

A Prospective, Multicenter, Single Arm Adaptive-Design Study to Evaluate the Safety, Functionality, and the Quality of Life of Patients Who Receive the Freedom Total Knee ® System

Assess the safety and functionality of the Freedom Knee® system through a multi-center clinical trial. Study endpoints include a comparison of Pre-Surgery versus Post-Surgery data for:

  1. Range of Motion
  2. Quality of Life measurements using Knee Society Scale (KSS)
  3. Survivorship as defined by 'No Revision' of baseline implant
  4. Quality of Life measurements using the WOMAC Score

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The clinical study will involve a series of evaluations performed by your surgeon. These examinations are consistent with the normal surgeon care as part of Total Knee Replacement surgery. The study objective is to assess the safety, functionality, and survivorship of the Freedom Knee System through a multi-center clinical trial. Study endpoints include a comparison of Pre-Surgery (baseline) versus Post-Surgery data for Range of Motion and Flexion, Quality of Life (KSS), and survivorship (defined by 'no revisions'). Additionally, the structural integrity will be evaluated based on the x-ray performed 36-months after knee replacement.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

36 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • Patients who understand the conditions of the study and are willing and able to comply with the post-operative scheduled clinical and the prescribed rehabilitation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous major knee replacement of the affected knee joint
  • Other significant disabling problems from the muscular-skeletal system than in the knees (i.e muscular dystrophy, polio, nueropathic joints)

  • Female patients planning a pregnancy during the course of the study.
  • Patients, who are mentally incompetent or are unlikely to be compliant with the prescribed post-operative routine and follow-up evaluation schedule.
  • Varus or valgus deformity > 20 degrees
