Trial Outcomes & Findings for Stryker Triathlon Total Knee System for Total Knee Arthroplasty Implanted Using Shapematch Cutting Guides:Sub-Study A (NCT NCT02516163)

NCT ID: NCT02516163

Last Updated: 2016-01-12

Results Overview

Repeatability of cutting guide position on the distal femur and proximal tibia assessed by repeated measures using computer navigation system for total knee replacement, assessed intra-operatively. Placement of the cutting guides by the surgeon was determined by recording the position of the cutting guide when placed by the same surgeon multiple times. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated for each positioning parameter. This included femoral and tibial varus/valgus,flexion/extension, medial resection, lateral resection and rotation. ICC agreement categories:\>0.75 excellent agreement; 0.75-0.4 good or fair agreement; \<0.4 poor agreement.

Measure
Shapematch Cutting Guides
The ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides are patient-specific surgical instruments to assist in the positioning of knee arthroplasty components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting.They are single use only. Participants undergo pre-operative assessment using MRI of the affected limb. At the time of surgery, a repeated-measures methodology is implemented in which the position of the femoral and tibial cutting guides is measured using the Navigation system. The same surgeon will position each cutting guide a total of 3 times for each patient. No bone cuts will take place using the patient-specific cutting guides. After the study-specific measurements have been taken, the total knee procedure will resume using the Navigation system and instruments. No post-operative evaluations will be undertaken as part of this sub-study.
