About this study

Official title: Robotic Assisted Surgery In Total Knee Replacement Versus Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare robotic arm assisted surgery with manual surgery in patients operated with knee replacement.

The main aim of the study is to compare changes in joint awareness (measured by the Forgotten Joint Score.

Participants who are listed for knee arthroplasty are randomised to either robotic arm assisted surgery or manual surgery.

Read the detailed description

Study Title:

Robotic Assisted Surgery in total knee replacement versus Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty: A randomised controlled trial

Type of study:

CE marked device study

Trial Design:

Multi-center site prospective parallel group randomised controlled trial

Trial Participants:

Listed for routine primary total knee replacements

Investigational Device:

MAKO Robotic Arm Assisted Surgical System

Control:

Conventional jig-based surgery

Implant (Intervention and Control):

Triathlon TKR

Planned Sample Size:

200 (100 MAKO, 100 Manual)

Follow-up duration:

24 months following surgery

Planned Trial Period:

Nov 2022 - 2024

Primary Objective:

To compare changes in joint awareness (measured by the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)20) from baseline to 12 months following TKR between the two groups.

Secondary Objectives

  1. To compare pain measured using the pain visual analogue scale.
  2. To compare the health-related quality of life using the EQ5D-3L at baseline, 3, 12 and 24 months.
  3. To compare changes in knee function in activities of daily living (measured by the Oxford knee score (OKS)19) from baseline to 3, 12 and 24 months.
  4. To compare changes in clinically assessed pain and stiffness (measured by the Knee Society Score (KSS)) at baseline to 3 and 12 months.
  5. To compare revision rate using implant migration measured by CTMA at 12 and 24 months as a surrogate marker for revision.

Primary Endpoint:

Functional outcome measured by the changes in joint awareness of the FJS score at 12 months following the intervention.

Secondary Endpoints:

Secondary outcomes will be collected up to 24 months following the intervention.

Device Name:

Both arms will receive Triathlon TKR with a highly crossed linked (X3) cruciate retaining polyethylene insert.

The intervention group will utilise the MAKO robotic arm to make the bone cuts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Triathlon in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 10 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 2 sites in Sweden. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Forgotten Joint Score (time frame: 1 year). 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 10 Oct 2023.
