Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Determine the Difference in Low Contact Stress (LCS) Duofix Versus Low LCS Porocoat Knee Systems (NCT NCT00733499)

NCT ID: NCT00733499

Last Updated: 2020-01-14

Results Overview

The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score asks the subject to place a vertical mark anywhere on a horizontal line (that is approximately 10 cm long) with 'No pain' listed on the left (scored as 0) and 'Very severe pain' labeled on the right (scored as 10). The subject is instructed to indicate the amount of pain they feel in their knee joint

Participant Flow

The first patient was operated on 26 September 2006 and recruitment lasted for 28 months with the last patient operated on 20th January 2009.

Consent was taken for 232 knees. 10 subjects were deemed unfit for surgery, 5 subjects were deemed ineligible for the study and 12 subjects were not randomised for the study. This left 205 subjects in the safety population that could be randomised for the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 Months Post Surgery

Population: The number of participants analysed is based on the number of case report forms measuring the VAS pain score that we have in our database at the 12 month time point.

The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score asks the subject to place a vertical mark anywhere on a horizontal line (that is approximately 10 cm long) with 'No pain' listed on the left (scored as 0) and 'Very severe pain' labeled on the right (scored as 10). The subject is instructed to indicate the amount of pain they feel in their knee joint

Timeframe: Pre-op

Population: The number of participants analysed is based on the number of case report forms measuring the Oxford Knee Score that we have in our database at the preop time point.

The Oxford Knee Score questionnaire consists of 12 questions each with a choice of responses and is designed to evaluate the subjects' perception of the condition and functionality of their affected joint and the impact that it has on their normal daily activities. Overall scores range from 0 (most severe symptoms) to 48 (least symptoms) with 48 being the best outcome.

The SF-12 consists of 12 questions that explores issues that apply to people have many different types of treatment, and in all different states of health, from good to bad. The mental composite score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the lowest level of health and 100 indicates the highest level of health.

Population: The number of participants analysed is based on the number of case report forms measuring the SF-12 that we have in our database at the preop time point. Please note-due to a discrepancy in an early version of the SF12 case report from, a complete score could not be calculated which reflected in missing counts for early visits.

The SF-12 consists of 12 questions that explores issues that apply to people have many different types of treatment, and in all different states of health, from good to bad. The physical composite score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the lowest level of health and 100 indicates the highest level of health.
