Brief Summary

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

A Prospective, randomized, clinical controlled study comparing conventional knee arthroplasty and the Patient-specific positioning guides (PSPG) (Signature Patient Care, Materialise) using the Vanguard Total Knee System (Biomet)

Detailed Description

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

Background: Use of PSPG in TKR is a relative new technique and already widely used. PSPG, based on MRI data, fit directly into the patient's anatomy and enable total knee replacement without use of traditional invasive instrumentation. Data showing extra benefit of this technique compared to conventional TKR technique are not widely available.

Aim: To determine the safety of this new surgical technique compared to conventional TKR and whether a clinical, functional and financial benefit can be achieved.

Methods: 200 patients with primary osteoarthritis will be randomized to 2 groups. 30 patients in each group will be included in the RSA section of the study. Participating hospitals UOS Ullevål, Vestre Viken, Sykehuset Telemark and Betanien Hospital Skien. Inclusion started Aug. 2011. Clinical scoring: KSS, KOOS, EQ-5D and VAS will be examined at inclusion, after 3 months, and at the 1 and 2 year control. RSA before discharge on day 2, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years. RSA images will be sent blinded to CIRRO (Center for Implant and Radiostereometric Research Oslo Orthopaedic Centre, Oslo University Hospital) for image analysis. Standing HKA: preoperatively and after 3 months. X-ray will be taken pre-operatively, postoperative day 3, after 3 months and after 5 and 10 years. CT Perth after 3 months for measuring alignment. A cost-benefit analysis will be performed.
