Uniglide™ Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System vs the Uniglide™ Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System (MBK)

A Prospective, Comparative, Randomized, Double Blind, Multi-center Study of the Uniglide™ Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System vs. Uniglide™ Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Uniglide™ Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System (investigational device)is not inferior when compared to the Uniglide™ Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System (control device currently cleared) as measured by the Composite Clinical Success (CCS) endpoint.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Osteoarthritis
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Uniglide Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System; Device: Uniglide Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System

Detailed Description

Arthritic knees are the most common cause of long-term disability resulting in decreased mobility and increased pain. After other treatments for pain relief and return to activities of daily living fail, knee joint replacement is often the best option and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty was introduced as an appropriate treatment for management of osteoarthritis when disease effects only a portion of the knee joint. This study is a prospective, comparative, randomized, double blind (patient and post-operative evaluator), multi-center clinical study under a common protocol to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Uniglide Unicondylar Mobile Bearing knee implant system.

• diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the medial compartment of the knee and non-surgical treatment options have failed to provide relief for symptoms
• able to understand this clinical trial, co-operate with study procedures, and are willing to return to the clinic, and/or hospital for all the required post-operative follow-ups
• able to give and have given voluntary, written informed patient consent to participate in this clinical investigation and have provided Authorization for Release of Personal Health Information (HIPAA) for the purpose of this clinical study

Exclusion Criteria:

• neurological disorders which may interfere or adversely affect gait or weight bearing (e.g., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis)
• a nutritional problem (protein, calorie, or vitamin/mineral deficiency) that may impair wound healing mechanisms
• a diagnosed systemic disease that would affect their welfare or the overall outcome of study (i.e. Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy)
• immunologically suppressed
• on chronic corticosteroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy
• with Charcot's disease
• with metabolic disorders (e.g. osteomalacia), which may impair bone formation

• have incomplete or deficient soft tissue surrounding the affected knee
• have infection, sepsis or osteomyelitis in the affected knee
• have had revision of previously failed prosthesis, failed upper tibial osteotomy or post traumatic arthritis after tibial plateau fracture in the affected knee
• with a fixed varus deformity (not passively correctable) of greater than 15 degrees and a flexion deformity greater than 15 degrees in the affected knee
• with insufficient collateral, anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments in the affected knee, which would preclude stability of the device
• with disease or damage to the lateral compartment of the affected knee (Outerbridge classification II, III, or IV)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Uniglide Mobile Bearing; Uniglide Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System (MBK)	Device: Uniglide Mobile Bearing Unicondylar Knee System; Uniglide Mobile Bearing Knee System includes a femoral component made of cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo)that articulates with a mobile bearing tibial construct comprised of a cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo)tibial base plate and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) meniscal insert. The femoral component has been cleared as part of the fixed bearing version in K050764. The investigational portion of this device is the mobile bearing tibial construct (tibial tray and meniscal insert).; Other Names: unicondylar knee; unicompartmental knee; partial knee
Active Comparator: Uniglide Fixed Bearing; Uniglide Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System (FBK)	Device: Uniglide Fixed Bearing Unicondylar Knee System; Uniglide Fixed Bearing Knee System includes a femoral component made of cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) that articulates with a one piece ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial bearing (K050764).; Other Names: unicondylar knee; unicompartmental knee; partial knee
