About this study

Official title: Clinical and Functional Outcome of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS Knee Prosthesis in Short-, Mid-, and Longterm Follow-up

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study with a planned follow-up period of 10 years to confirm the safety and performance of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis in longterm follow-up under routine conditions. Primary outcome of the study is the 10-year survival rate of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis with revision for any reason as the endpoint.

Read the detailed description

The GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis combines clinical proven design features with state-of-the-art-technology in order to achieve a high standard clinical performance, surgical efficiency and safety. Currently, no mid- and longterm clinical data are available for the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis. Therefore, the study is designed to generate clinical data of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis in the 10-year follow-up under routine condition.

Being tested
Total knee replacement
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Total knee replacementDevice

    Implantation of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis. The operation technique of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis will be followed.

What is being measured

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

  1. 10-year survival rate of the Gemini SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prothesis

    Primary outcome of the study is the 10-year survival rate of the Gemini SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis with revision for any reason as the endpoint. Revisions are defined as removal, exchange or adding of any implant components. The definition does not include subsequent implantations or exchange of the patella component or the polyethylene plateau. Survival rate will be calculated according to the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Survival rate of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis

    Survival rate of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis after 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years

    Measured: after 6 months, 1,3 and 5 years

  2. Change in functional and clinical outcome (KOOS)

    Evaluation of the change in functional and clinical outcome from preoperative to 6 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years postoperative, measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). The KOOS is a reliable and validated knee-specific patient-administered outcome instrument. The previous week is taken into consideration when answering the questions. Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 (best result) to 4 (worst result). The KOOS consists of 5 sub-scales: Pain, Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and Hip/Knee related Quality of life (QoL). A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.

    Measured: preoperative examination to postoperative examinations after 6 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years

  3. Change in functional and clinical outcome (KSS)

    Evaluation of the change in functional and clinical outcome from preoperative to 6 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years postoperative, measured by the Knee Society Score (KSS). The KSS is a frequently used, reliable and validated score in the assessment of a subject's knee pain and functional knee capacity. It comprises two arms, the functional ability and the clinical examination score, each ranging from 0 points (worst result) to 100 points (best result).

    Measured: preoperative examination to postoperative examinations after 6 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years

  4. Complications rate

    Complications related to implantation of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis (infections, dislocations, migrations, aseptic loosenings, periprosthetic fractures, intra-operative fractures, implant fractures, soft tissue fractures, joint instability etc.) will be recorded at all follow-up examinations.

    Measured: Intraoperative examinations to 10-year follow-up examination

  5. Subsequent surgical interventions

    All subsequent surgical interventions at the operated knee (exchange of the polyethylene plateau, additional implantation/exchange of the patella component, soft-tissue balancing, debridement etc) will be recorded at all follow-up examinations.

    Measured: postoperative examinations up to 10-year follow-up examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthrosis of Knee, run by Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG at 1 site in Colombia.

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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2023. 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 Colombia. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kim Jacobs (+49 (0)40 53995866, k.jacobs@link-ortho.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

10-year survival rate of the Gemini SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prothesis (time frame: 10 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 12 Jan 2023.
