What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative Leg Alignment

    The number of participants with knees achieving post-operative leg alignment was taken by radiographic assessment at 6 weeks. Post-operative leg alignment was achieved when the deviation from the participant specific target did not exceed ±3 degrees.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Component Alignment: Femoral Antero-Posterior (A/P) Angle

    Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. From the A/P radiograph, the femoral flexion angle in degrees was obtained using standard radiographic tools. Femoral flexion angle is defined as the angle formed between a line across the base of the femoral condyles and a line that is centered along the femoral canal.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Component Alignment: Tibial Antero-Posterior (A/P) Angle

    Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. From the A/P radiograph, the tibial angle denotes the angle formed on the medial side of the knee from intersecting lines parallel to the tibial base plate and a line drawn parallel to the tibial canal.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Component Alignment: Total Antero-Posterior (A/P) Valgus Angle

    Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The total valgus angle is the sum of the femoral flexion angle and the tibial angle.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. Component Alignment: Lateral View Femoral Flexion Angle

    Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The lateral view femoral flexion angle in degrees was obtained from the intersection of a line from the center of the femoral implant to the top of the femur with a line through the femoral canal. The angle is measured on the proximal side of the intersection.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  5. Component Alignment: Lateral View Tibial Angle

    Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The lateral view tibial angle in degrees was obtained from the intersection of a line drawn parallel to the bottom of the tibial base insert and a line through the center of the tibial base and the tibial canal.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  6. Radiographic Assessment

    Radiographic assessment measured by number of participants with any radiographic finds on antero-posterior (A/P) and lateral (L) views (yes/no). Radiographic findings indicated the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis \& implant migration.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS): Objective Knee Score

    The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales. The "Objective" Knee Score is seven items with a range of 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  8. 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS): Satisfaction Knee Score

    The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales. The Patient Satisfaction Score is five items with a range of 0 to 40, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  9. 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS): Expectation Score

    The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales. The Patient Expectation Score is three items with a range of 0 to 15, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. The Expectation score indicates the patient's opinion on the extent they expect the operation to improve their knee pain, and ability to perform activities of daily living and recreational activities.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  10. 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS): Functional Score

    The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales. The Functional Score is nineteen items with a range of 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. Functional Score is derived from assessments of walking and standing, standard activities, advanced activities, and discretionary activities.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  11. Oxford Knee Score (OKS)

    The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a Patient Reported Outcome questionnaire that was developed to assess perceived function and pain answered on a Likert scale. Responses to each question ranges from 0-4 with a range of a possible overall score from 0-48. A score of 0 is the worst possible outcome while a score of 48 is the best possible outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  12. Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)

    The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) comprises measures for the assessment of joint-specific patient reported outcomes. Participants are asked to rate their awareness of their knee arthroplasty in 12 questions with a five point Likert response format: "Never", "almost never", "seldom", "sometimes" and "mostly". The item scores are summed and linearly transformed in a 0 to 100 scale with a high value reflecting the ability of the subject to forget about the replaced knee joint during the activities of daily living (i.e., a higher score is a better outcome).

    Measured: 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  13. Five-level EuroQol Five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L): Index Score

    The EQ-5D-5L score consists of two parts: a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The descriptive system (i.e., index score) is used to describe the participant's health state and consists of five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels to choose the most appropriate answer: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The participant is asked to indicate their health state by marking the most appropriate statement in each of the five areas. The EQ-5D-5L Index Score was based on a scale of 0 to 1, with higher index values indicating better health and lower index values indicating worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

  14. Five-level EuroQol Five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L): Visal Analogue Scale (VAS) Score

    The EQ-5D-5L score consists of two parts: a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 indicates 'The worst health you can imagine' and 100 indicates 'The best health you can imagine'.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months
