Trial Outcomes & Findings for Randomized Fixed Bearing vs Mobile Bearing Cruciate Retaining TKA (NCT NCT00289094)

NCT ID: NCT00289094

Last Updated: 2022-09-13

Results Overview

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.

Participant Flow

Two US clinical centers performed 99 primary knee replacements in 86 subjects. Recruitment was based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria as specified in the clinical investigation plan.

Immediately before surgery, the implant type was determined according to the randomization schedule. Before treatment assignment, consented subjects could be excluded from the trial based on results of pre-operative clinical evaluations and/or radiographs, as per the exclusion criteria in the CIP.
