Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to analyze the stability of a cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) over time and compare it to a well-documented implant in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main aim is to answer if there is a difference in stability over time as a measure of long time survivorship in these 2 implants.

50 participants will be randomly allocated to receive either the Triathlon Tritanium (Stryker) or the Global Medacta Knee Sphere (GMK Sphere, Medacta) 3D printed cementless TKAs.

Detailed Description

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

Total joint replacement is an efficacious treatment for osteoarthritis of hips and knees. Both TKA and Total Hip Artrhoplasties (THA) have excellent implant survivorship. However, patients' satisfaction is lower in TKA than THA. A possible cause of the discrepancy is the unnatural knee kinematics after TKA. Various implants designs have been developed to solve the problem. The most common fixation mode is cemented TKA with good survival up to 15 years. However, newer series in younger patients also have shown lasting survival with cementless implants (Nilsson KG, Prudhon JL). Among various different designs, the medially stabilized total knee, which are designed to reproduce natural knee kinematics with a medial ball-in-socked design, is a promising implant design (No authors listed). Dynamically the medial pivot knee performs more naturally (Bragonzoni L,Petersen ET) compared to other designs. Most data for this design is available only for the cemented version. Up to now there is no safety study performed that confirms the stability over time for this implant with cementless fixation.

In this study, the investigators will therefore analyze the in vivo stability of an uncemented TKA with a medially stabilized design, and compare it with a well-documented comparable implant. In order to do this, the investigators will use the CT based micromotion analysis (Broden C, Broden C). This study will contribute to the understanding of fixation and lead to safety to the patient.
