Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test for significant differences in functional outcomes, specifically pre-operative ROM and post-operative ROM obtained by using a NexGen CR versus a NexGen CR-Flex knee implant. Specifically, it is predicted that an increase in post-operative range of motion will be experienced by patients treated with the NexGen CR-Flex knee implant.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will compare the clinical results of the NexGen CR femoral component with the higher flexion potential of the NexGen CR-Flex femoral component in all patients with degenerative joint disease that require total knee arthroplasty. The primary variable of interest is post-operative range of motion achieved with the two devices, which are implanted with slightly different surgical techniques in patients who may also be subjected to different rehabilitation programs depending on the device they are assigned.
