About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Signature Custom Cutting Guides and Computer Assisted Surgery Techniques With the Vanguard Knee System

The purpose of the data collection is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the Vanguard Knee using Signature Custom Cutting Guides and Computer Assisted Surgery.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this prospective clinical data-collection is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the Vanguard® Knee System using Signature™ Custom Guides and Computer Assisted Surgery.

FDA has cleared the Vanguard Knee via premarket notification 510(k) K023546, K033489, and K050222. FDA has cleared the software for the Signature™ Custom Guides via premarket notification 510(k) K073449. The data gathered will be collated and used to provide feedback to design engineers, support marketing efforts, answer potential questions from reimbursement agencies, and will serve as a part of Biomet's Post Market Surveillance System.

Function will be assessed through the Knee Society Score. Survivorship will be documented by asking the surgeon to document revisions and complications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mechanical Alignment

    Angle between femoral head, center of knee, and talus.

    Measured: Data Collected at 0-10 Weeks; but Analyzed at Completion of Study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Knee Society Objective Score

    Objective Scoring of Knee Society score is the clinical assessment which includes the sum of range of motion, stability, flexion contracture, extension lag, and alignment scores.

    Measured: Completion of Study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total Knee Replacement with Vanguard Total Knee in people with Joint Disease, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 25 inclusion and 0 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 19 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Mechanical Alignment (time frame: Data Collected at 0-10 Weeks; but Analyzed at Completion of Study). 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 19 Jun 2017.
