Project
“In vivo kinematics and performance of contemporary knee arthroplasty”
Background
Total joint replacement is an efficient treatment of osteoarthritis in hips and knees, both with excellent implant survivorship. However, patient satisfaction of TKR is inferior to THR. A possible cause of this is the unnatural knee kinematics after TKR. In this study we will analyze in vivo kinematics and stability of knee implants of several designs, including the GMK Sphere (Metaxa), Vanguard XP (Biomet), NexGen CR (Zimmer) and Oxford Partial Knee (Biomet).
Methods
- Dynamic (with video fluoroscopy) and static RSA
- CT and conventional X-ray
- Clinical follow up including KSS and KOOS
Primary Objective
Evaluate the in vivo kinematics of the implants using dynamic RSA.
Secondary Objective
Evaluate the early fixation of polyethylene wear of the two contemporary arthroplasties using static RSA.
Planned studies
- Comparison of in vivo kinematics of Acl sacrificing vs medially stabilized arthroplasty (NexGen CR vs GMK Sphere)
- Comparison of in vivo kinematics of unicondylar vs bicruciate retaining arthroplasty (Oxford vs Vanguard XP)
- Assessment of time change of in vivo kinematics from 6 months to 2 years
- Evaluation of early migration of bicruciate-retaining arthroplasty as a predictor of long time survivorship
- Evaluation of early migration and volumetric wear of medially stabilized arthroplasty as a predictor of long time survivorship.
- Comparison of accuracy and precision of conventional model-based RSA and beads-based RSA
