Lay Summary
|
Lay summary under review 3 (from ISRCTN)
|
|
Who can enter the trial
|
1. The patient and surgeon must agree that total knee replacement (TKR) is necessary
2. The patient must be fit for TKR in the opinion of the Investigator
3. The patient must be 18 years of age or older on the day of signing the Study Consent Form
4. The inclusion of minors would introduce an extremely rare subset of TKR patients in which the surgeon?s choice of implant is desirable
5. The patient must be able to fully understand the study and must therefore be fluent in English. If they are not fluent in English, a translator will be used
6. The patient must be a permanent resident in an area accessible to the study site
7. The indication for TKR must be osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
8. This must be the patient?s first TKR
|
|
Who cannot enter the trial
|
1. Patient has clinical contra-indications for use of the 3D, MRK or Triathlon Knee systems in the opinion of the Investigator
2. Underlying neuromuscular/neurovascular problems
3. The patient already has a TKR on the contralateral side
4. Patient lacks the capacity to consent, is unwilling or unable to sign the consent form
5. Patient aged <18 years at time of consenting to study

What will happen
|
The study is a partially blinded, randomised controlled trial of the three knee implants. Adult patients requiring a primary knee replacement for osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis will be randomised to one of the implants.
|
|
Primary aim
|
1. Knee range of motion measured in degrees, at six months post-operative
2. The study has been powered to detect a difference of 10 degrees between any two implants
3. The primary outcome will be analysed by linear regression with study group as the explanatory variable
|
|
Secondary Aim
|
1. Validated Health Related Quality of Life measures
1.1. American Knee Society Score
1.2. Oxford Knee Score
1.3. Western Ontario and McMasters University Osteoarthitis (WOMAC)
1.4. SF-36 Health Survey
1.5. UCLH functional score
2. Radiological analysis
3. Survivorship information
4. Complication rates
5. Knee ROM
Measured at six months post-operative
