Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an observational study to understand the effects of soft-tissue balancing on gait, function and rehabilitation potential after sensor-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

Detailed Description
The primary objectives of this study are to understand the effects of soft-tissue balancing on Gait, function and rehabilitation potential after sensor-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty and to correlate Intra-operative subjective feel with OrthoSensor Outputs
Secondary objectives are to quantify and observe pain medication use, swelling, muscle strength and girth, gait efficiency, patient satisfaction, activity levels, functional return (i.e., back to work, resume normal activities) and patient perception of a balanced knee

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Device Arm A prospective series of 10 patients will receive sensor-guided TKA using the this special Orthosensor™ VERASENSE™ Knee System assisted surgery for optimization of soft tissue balance |
Device: Orthosensor™ VERASENSE™ Knee System
A group of patients will receive a total knee arthroplasty using the Orthosensor device
|
Active Comparator: Standard of Care 10 patients will receive standard of care. Prior to cementing final implants, VERASENSE will be utilized with the standard of care group with the surgeon blinded to the data. |
Device: Orthosensor™ VERASENSE™ Knee System
A group of patients will receive a total knee arthroplasty using the Orthosensor device

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients with improvement in gait. [18 months]
- Proportion of patients not requiring long term rehabilitation. [18 months]
- Proportion of patients with improved function as measured by standardized knee scores. [18 months]
