About this study

Official title: SCORPIO™ Posterior Stabilized Versus Posterior Retained Total Knee Arthroplasties: Long-term Functional and Radiographic Outcome

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) examined 10 year outcomes comparing SCORPIO™ Posterior Cruciate Substituting (PCS) versus Posterior Cruciate Retaining (PCR) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) as the primary outcome.

Read the detailed description

RCT of 100 subjects undergoing primary TKA who were randomized to received either a SCORPIO™ PCS or PCR TKA.

Subjects were evaluated pre-operatively and at 2 and 10 years post-operatively using the Western Ontario (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index, the RAND-36 and knee range of motion (2 years only). Complication and revision rates were also evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Western Ontario McMaster (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index Pain

    disease-specific patient reported health related quality of life (pain and function) with 2 constructs (pain; function) each ranging from 0-100 points No total score is calculated; we report the WOMAC in reverse order to align with the RAND-36 scores where higher scores are considered better than lower scores

    Measured: 10 years postoperative

  2. WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index Function

    disease-specific patient reported health related quality of life (pain and function) with 2 constructs (pain; function) each ranging from 0-100 points No total score is calculated; we report the WOMAC in reverse order to align with the RAND-36 scores where higher scores are considered better than lower scores

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. RAND -36 Health Survey

    generic patient reported health related quality of life measure with 8 dimensions of health - we report the physical function dimension only with scores ranging from 0-100 where higher scores indicate better physical function.

    Measured: 10 years postoperative

  2. Revision Rate

    number of participants with revision surgery (ie another surgery on the same knee) for any cause data obtained from patient report and regional administrative databases

    Measured: within 10 years of surgery

  3. Number of Complications

    Measured: within 10 years of surgery

  4. Knee Range of Motion

    Knee Range of Motion measured as a calculated total of knee flexion + knee extension; measured in degrees

    Measured: knee ROM at 2 years postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing SCORPIO™ in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee and Knee Arthroplasty, Total, run by University of Alberta 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 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 27 Jul 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Western Ontario McMaster (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index Pain (time frame: 10 years postoperative). The study lists 2 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 NCT02429856, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jul 2021.
