About this study

Official title: Outcome Analysis of the Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty With and Without the Assistance of a Computer Navigational Unit

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computer navigational unit can improve operating time and consistency during Knee arthroplasty when compared to knee arthroplasty without a computer navigational unit.

Read the detailed description

The ability to use a computerized navigational unit during knee arthroplasty can be a major benefit to surgeons that perform a small amount of knee arthroplasties. Navigational assistance can decrease surgery and anesthesia time as well as decreasing variation in posterior tibial slope and improved range of motion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxford Unicompartmental Knee in people with Knee Arthritis, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Operative record (time frame: Immediately Post-Op). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00862316, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2017.
