A Single Time-Point Study to Evaluate the ConforMIS iTotal® (CR) Knee Versus Off-the-Shelf
An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by Restor3D at 16 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
It has been noted that patients "dramatically overestimate their functional ability early after surgery." Despite use of assistive devices increasing and functional testing scores decreasing post-surgery, the patient reported outcome scores fail to show worsening. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Single Time-Point Study to Evaluate the ConforMIS iTotal® (CR) Knee Replacement System Versus Off-the-Shelf Replacement
It has been noted that patients "dramatically overestimate their functional ability early after surgery." Despite use of assistive devices increasing and functional testing scores decreasing post-surgery, the patient reported outcome scores fail to show worsening. Outcome questionnaires will be administered and functional testing will be conducted on all patients to capture these changes.
Read the detailed description
The functional testing used in this study consists of tests that physical therapists use daily as objective methods to assess patients' functional status. The testing is designed to closely mimic daily activities that the patients are familiar with.
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis
- Being tested
- ConforMIS Total Knee Replacement System, Off-the-Shelf Knee Replacement System
- Medical subject headings
- Osteoarthritis
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ConforMIS Total Knee Replacement SystemDevice
Total knee replacement system using a patient specific implant.
Off-the-Shelf Knee Replacement SystemDevice

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

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
It has been noted that patients "dramatically overestimate their functional ability early after surgery." Despite use of assistive devices increasing and functional testing scores decreasing post-surgery, the patient reported outcome scores fail to show worsening. Outcome questionnaires will be administered and functional testing will be conducted on all patients to capture these changes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by Restor3D at 16 sites in 2 countries.
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 3 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 25 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 16 sites in United States, Germany. 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?
Functional Outcome time differences between the two groups (time frame: at least 6 months post-op). 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 25 Oct 2023.
