In Vivo Kinematics for Subjects Having a MicroPort Medial Pivot or DePuy Attune PCR TKA (TKA PCR)

April 28, 2026 updated by: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

In Vivo Kinematics for Subjects Having a MicroPort Medial Pivot or DePuy Attune Posterior Cruciate Retainign Total Knee Arthroplasty

In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been implanted with either a MicroPort Medial Pivot or DePuy Attune posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by Dr. Russell Nevins of Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center [this is the location from which participants will be recruited].

Study Overview

Status

Status

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Withdrawn

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

There will be ten subjects with the MicroPort implant and ten with the DePuy Attune implant; however, we will increase enrollment to 24 subjects (12 in each group) to ensure that researchers acquire the necessary 20 usable datasets for analysis and also to account for any subjects that may drop out of the study. All TKAs should be judged clinically successful based on the surgeon's evaluation and each patient's Forgotten Knee Score. Each subject should have a well-functioning prosthesis, be at least six months post-operative, and should have good-to-excellent post-operative passive flexion.

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

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

There will be ten subjects with the MicroPort implant and ten with the DePuy Attune implant; however, we will increase enrollment to 24 subjects (12 in each group) to ensure that researchers acquire the necessary 20 usable datasets for analysis and also to account for any subjects that may drop out of the study. All TKAs should be judged clinically successful based on the surgeon's evaluation and each patient's Forgotten Knee Score. Each subject should have a well-functioning prosthesis, be at least six months post-operative, and should have good-to-excellent post-operative passive flexion

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must be at least six months post-operative.
  • Participants must be judged clinically successful based on the surgeon's evaluation and their Forgotten Knee Score.
  • Participants must be able to perform the required activities - stepping up and a deep knee bend.
  • Subjects must be willing to sign the Informed Consent (IC) / HIPAA form to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant, potentially pregnant or lactating females. To satisfy radiation protocol, each female subject will be asked if she is pregnant, or possibly could be pregnant. A pregnant person will not be allowed to participate in the study.
  • Subjects without one of the two types of knee implants under investigation.
  • Subjects who are unable to perform stepping up and deep knee bend.

NO

IPD Plan Description

Researchers would like to retain this study data in our secure database so as to continue to add relevant, current data to our digital collection to help us work with manufacturers in the future to create better implants that last longer and will not require revision surgery. Participants will be asked if their study data may remain a part of the University of Tennessee's Center for Musculoskeletal Research data collection for use in future studies in the IC. Identifiers are automatically removed from the database upon entry into the secure server. Data shared with sponsors is de-identified.
