In Vivo Kinematics for Subjects Implanted With Klassic Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) (TKA)

October 24, 2019 updated by: Richard Komistek, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

In Vivo Kinematics for Subjects Implanted With Klassic TKA

In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been implanted with a Total Joint Orthopedics Klassic knee system by Dr. Aaron Hofmann of the Hofmann Arthritis Institute's Center for Precision Joint Replacement. This is the location from which all participants will be recruited and where fluoroscopy data collection will occur. Participants will undergo fluoroscopic surveillance of their implanted knee using a C-arm fluoroscopic unit while performing a deep knee bend activity at least six months post-operatively.

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

Enrollment will be increased to 24 subjects 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. At present, all TKA available for surgeons to use are asymmetric where there is a distinct femoral and tibial component for the left knee and a distinct femoral and tibial component for the right knee. The Klassic knee system is a symmetrical knee implant, where the same femoral and same tibial component can be used for either the right or left knee. The kinematics for the 20 knees will be analyzed, including condylar roll-back, axial rotation, range of motion, and condylar lift-off

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

Patients of Dr. Aaron Hofmann who have been implanted with the Klassic Knee System

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects will have a Klassic knee system.
  2. Subjects must be at least six months post-operative.

  4. Participants must be able to perform a deep knee bend.
  5. Subjects must be willing to sign the Informed Consent (IC) / HIPAA form to participate in the study.
  6. Must speak English.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. 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.
  2. Subjects without the required type of knee implant.

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.
Klassic TKA
Subjects implanted with a Klassic TKA. Subjects will undergo flouoroscopic evaluation during a deep knee bend evaluation and the postoperative kinematics will be reported.
Device: Klassic Knee System
At present, all TKA available for surgeons to use are asymmetric where there is a distinct femoral and tibial component for the left knee and a distinct femoral and tibial component for the right knee. The Klassic knee system is a symmetrical knee implant, where the same femoral and same tibial component can be used for either the right or left knee

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
Axial Rotation (AR) During Deep Knee Bend
Time Frame: at least 6 months post-operative
Rotation of femoral component with respect to tibial component during deep knee bend. Positive indicated external rotation of femur wrt tibia.
at least 6 months post-operative
Maximum Weight-bearing Flexion During Deep Knee Bend
Time Frame: at least 6 months post-operative
Maximum weight-bearing flexion that the subjects are able to achieve during deep knee bend. All values are positive.
at least 6 months post-operative
Medial Condyle Translations During Deep Knee Bend Activity.
Time Frame: at least 6 months post-operative
Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of medial femoral condyle during deep knee bend. Positive indicates anterior sliding and negative indicates posterior rollback.
at least 6 months post-operative
Lateral Condyle Translations During Deep Knee Bend Activity
Time Frame: at least 6 months post-operative
Anterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyle during deep knee bend. Positive indicates anterior sliding and negative indicates posterior rollback.
at least 6 months post-operative

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 by the secure server after data are uploaded.
