Using Intraoperative Sensing Technology to Evaluate Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty

January 3, 2025 updated by: Orthosensor, Inc.
This study will attempt to draw relationships between the soft-tissue related complications contributing to early TKA revision and the loading and positional patterns from intraoperative tibial trial sensors. The data from the sensors may enable the surgeon to address such soft-tissue abnormalities that may otherwise be unknown during traditional total knee revision procedures. The utilization of sensors should in theory, help diagnose the potential causes attributing to soft-tissue imbalance and may lead to a decreased need for an all component revision. Furthermore, the economic implications from converting a total revision to a partial revision could have a profound effect to the patient and healthcare provider such as decreased rehabilitation regimes and opportunity for cost savings. Eligible revision patients who agree to participate will be followed for a period of 12 months following the revision procedure. Patient reported outcomes measures (PROM) such as the 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) will be collected at baseline (pre-operatively) and at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure. All outcomes will be scored to observe changes from baseline at 12-months. Cost-analyses of sensor-assisted revision TKA will be performed to include OR costs, facility and physician fees, as well as payments to post-acute collaborators such as SNFs, rehab hospitals, PT and home care providers. A quantitative analysis of commercial payer claims / usage data (e.g., CMS Medpar data) will be used to examine costs associated with traditional revision TKA procedures.

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

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who are candidates for revision TKA and meet all inclusion and no exclusion will be offered study participation without regard to race, sex, economic status, or religious belief.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing revision unilateral total knee arthroplasty within the first 5-years of the index procedure
  • Include Male and Female subjects
  • Include subjects 18 years and older
  • Patients should present with idiopathic pain and/or instability/stiffness attributed to aseptic loosening, polyethylene wear or malrotation
  • Patients able to understand study intent, and agree to study participation
  • Patients must be previously implanted with the following cruciate-retaining (CR) or posterior-substituting (PS) total knee systems: Stryker TRIATHLON, Zimmer-Biomet VANGUARD or NEXGEN or Smith and Nephew LEGION or JOURNEY II.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Partial Revision
A "partial" revision will be indicated when only the tibial liner is changed or only the tibial liner with the tibial tray or only the tibial liner with the femoral component.
Procedure: VERASENSE
Sensor-Assisted Revision TKA
Other Names:
  • Sensor-Assisted TKA
Total Revision
A "total" revision will be indicated when all components are completely removed and replaced (tibial tray, femoral component and tibial liner).

  • Sensor-Assisted TKA

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
Cause of Early TKA Revision
Time Frame: 12-months
The objective is to evaluate and link the possible causes of early TKA revision procedures using intraoperative sensors in effort to understand why knees fail in addition to examining the economic implications to the patient and hospital.
12-months

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
Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 12-months
This survey is primarily used to measure health related quality of life, to estimate disease burden and to evaluate disease-specific impact on general and selected populations. The items on the questionnaire correspond to eight principal health domains including general health perceptions, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical and emotional problems, bodily pain, energy-fatigue , social functioning and mental health
Change from Baseline at 12-months
Knee Society Score
Time Frame: 12 months
This survey is subdivided into a knee score that rates only the knee joint itself and a functional score that rates the patient's ability to walk and climb stairs. Patient expectations as well as patient satisfaction are also evaluated.
12 months
