Randomized Fixed Bearing vs Mobile Bearing Cruciate Substituting TKA

April 4, 2023 updated by: DePuy Orthopaedics

Multi-center, Prospective, Clinical Evaluation of the P.F.C.® Sigma™ Rotating Platform Cruciate Substituting vs P.F.C.® Sigma™ Cruciate Substituting Knee Primary Cases

The study will evaluate the clinical performance of the rotating platform and fixed bearing implants through patient questionnaires, outcomes scoring and radiographic assessment.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study will evaluate the clinical performance of rotating platform and fixed bearing cruciate ligament substituting implants by obtaining a series of primary TKAS. Patients will receive either the P.F.C.® Sigma™ Rotating Platform Cruciate Substituting Knee System or P.F.C.® Sigma™ Fixed Cruciate Substituting Knee System and assignment is randomized.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Knee Society Score
Time Frame: Pre-operative, 6 and 12 months and annually thereafter for at least 5 years.
The Knee Society Score (KSS) is comprised to two sections (each worth 100 points) for a maximum 200 points. One section is the Knee Society Clinical Score (KSCS) - points are given for pain, motion, and stability and points are deducted for flexion contracture, extension lag, and misalignment. The other section is the Knee Society Functional Score (KSFS) - points are assigned for walking distances and climbing stairs and points are deducted for use of walking aids. For each section, a score of 80-100 = excellent, 70-79 = good; 60-69 = fair; and < 60 = poor.
Pre-operative, 6 and 12 months and annually thereafter for at least 5 years.
