Trial summary

The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to use RSA to determine the migration patterns of the PA coated Triathlon Total Knee Arthroplasty components during the first 2 years postoperatively and thus determine the proportion of cases where adequate fixation is achieved, and 2) to use DEXA scanning to document… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Study Using Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA) and DEXA to Evaluate Fixation of Periapatite Coated Triathlon Total Knee Arthroplasty Components

The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to use RSA to determine the migration patterns of the PA coated Triathlon Total Knee Arthroplasty components during the first 2 years postoperatively and thus determine the proportion of cases where adequate fixation is achieved, and 2) to use DEXA scanning to document peri-prosthetic bone mineral density changes in response to the PA coated Triathlon Total Knee arthroplasty over the first two postoperative years.

In addition, gait assessment and validated outcome questionnaires will be utilized to quantify changes in functional status of subjects after surgery and migration patterns will be compared to results obtained from previous studies of uncemented total knee arthroplasty components conducted at this centre. Questions to be asked are: 1. Do the components achieve adequate fixation to the underlying bone? 2. What are the migration patterns (translations and rotations) of the PA coated arthroplasty components during the first two years postoperatively and are they different from that seen for other implants that have been studied with RSA at this institution? 3. For what proportion of implants does migration continue to increase during the two year follow-up? 4. Are inducible displacements, measured at weight-bearing follow-ups, consistent over time and do they indicate that adequate fixation has been achieved? 5. Are there changes over time in bone mineral density of peri-prosthetic bone in the PA coated Triathlon total knee arthroplasty? 6: Where do changes in bone mineral density occur? 7: Is there a significant difference in health status and functional outcome before and after total knee arthroplasty using PA coated Triathlon total knee arthroplasty components? 8: Are there changes in gait symmetry and centre of mass (COM) displacements as assessed with the Walkabout Portable Gait Monitor pre- and post-operatively and how does study gait data compare to asymptomatic gait? and finally, Question 9: Are there differences in the micromotion patterns between the when compared to other samples of knee implants in our RSA database?

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Triathlon Periapatite (PA)-coated Tibial Component in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by Dalhousie University 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 31 Mar 2014. 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?

Migration of tibial component as measured with RSA (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Mar 2014.
