Trial Outcomes & Findings for Zimmer POLAR - Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) (NCT NCT01859130)

NCT ID: NCT01859130

Last Updated: 2023-10-13

Results Overview

This form includes alignment, instability, joint range of motion, and symptoms. The overall range of scores available is -8 to 106. A higher score indicates good alignment, range of motion, and minimal symptoms of pain. A lower score indicates poor knee alignment, potential issues in range of motion, and the likely experience of symptoms of pain.

Baseline Characteristics

Patient demographics were captured for 326 subjects, however 27 subjects were study completed prior to surgery and prior to pre-op Patient Report Outcome Measure Completion. All other analyses will include 299 subjects (beginning with PROMs).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years post op

Population: Only 161 subjects completed the KSS form at the final 5yr follow-up. All other subjects were study completed, or lost to follow-up.

This form includes alignment, instability, joint range of motion, and symptoms. The overall range of scores available is -8 to 106. A higher score indicates good alignment, range of motion, and minimal symptoms of pain. A lower score indicates poor knee alignment, potential issues in range of motion, and the likely experience of symptoms of pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years post op

Population: Only 175 subjects completed the EQ-5D form at the final 5yr follow-up. All other subjects were study completed, or lost to follow-up.

The EQ-5D family of instruments has been developed to evaluate health across a wide range of disease areas. Each EQ-5D instrument comprises a short descriptive system questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The questionnaire provides a simple descriptive profile of a respondent's health state. The EQ VAS provides an alternative way to elicit an individual's rating of the individual's own overall current health. The overall range is -0.1 to 1.0. A higher score indicates a better overall health rating reported by the patient, and a lower score indicates a poor overall health rating. It is possible to score a negative value. Although unlikely, a negative value is observed to be a state worse than death.

The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tool designed to assess artificial prosthesis awareness during daily activities following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Scores range from 0-100. A score of 100 would indicate a high degree of "forgetting" the artificial joint (a low degree of awareness). A score of 0 would indicates a very low degree of "forgetting" the artificial joint (typically aware of the replacement).
