About this study

Official title: Comparison Of Outcomes After Bilateral Simultaneous Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Posterior-Substituting Versus Cruciate-Retaining Prostheses

Total knee replacement is used in the treatment of patients with knee arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other knee disorders. Today, there are basically two designs; It cuts the posterior cruciate ligament (PS) and protects the posterior cruciate ligament (CR). Although there is no clear study suggesting which design is better, research on this subject has increased recently. the investigators aim is to define the superiority of these two designs over each other. Preoperative and postoperative joint range of motion examinations were performed on both knees separately. WOMAC and OXFORD scores were examined separately for both knees.

Read the detailed description

Total knee arthroplasty is used to treat patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other knee disorders. Today, there are basically two primary designs; posterior cruciate Substituting (PS) and protects the posterior cruciate -Retaining (CR). However, it is still controversial which approach is good, as both CR and PS have advantages and disadvantages. Proponents of the posterior cruciate retaining system argue that it provides natural stability, wider joint range of motion, better proprioception, and better knee kinematics. In addition, proponents of the posterior cruciate substituting system argue that it provides more harmonious articulation and a wider flexion range.

As a result, although there is no clear study suggesting which design is better, research on this subject has increased recently. Our aim is to define the superiority of these two designs over each other.

Patients with the same stage of knee osteoarthritis in both knees were selected. Total knee arthroplasty was performed in the same session by making the appropriate design for the appropriate knee simultaneously. Preoperative and postoperative joint range of motion examinations were performed on both knees separately. WOMAC and OXFORD scores were examined separately for both knees.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 6 Dec 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Range of motions (time frame: 3 year). 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 NCT06170931, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 6 Dec 2024.
