Detailed Description

Prospective multicenter follow-up study which examines the short- to long-term post-market clinical data on the safety and performance of the balanSys UNI fix knee prosthesis.

In total at least 100 participants in 3 clinics are included in this multicenter study.

The primary endpoint of the study is the Knee Society Score (KSS) 2 years after surgery.

The following parameters will be collected during the regular clinical and radiological follow-up: Knee Society Score, Knee and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), radiographic evaluation and detection of adverse events.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Knee Society Score
Time Frame: 2 years

The primary endpoint of the study is the Knee Society Score (KSS) 2 years after surgery

The Knee Society Score consists of an objective score (0-100 points) and a score for function (0-100 points).

A higher score means a better outcome.

2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Radiographic evaluation of lucent lines
Time Frame: 6-12 weeks - 10 years
The second endpoint of interest is the incidence of lucent lines measured in millimeters by means of standard X-rays.
6-12 weeks - 10 years
Adverse Events and Complications
Time Frame: 6-12 weeks - 10 years

Documentation of complication(s):

- Description of complication with the UKA
