Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is to average Forgotten Knee Score (FJS) of those patients receiving the Medacta GMK Sphere® knee at the two and five year time points. 70 subjects, enrolled at the data coordinating center in Medacta GMK Sphere® vs Posterior Stabilized study (WIRB Pro Num: 20141994) and randomized to the Sphere arm, will have their data utilized for this study.

All subjects enrolled will receive the Medacta GMK Sphere® Medial Knee Prosthesis

Device: Medacta GMK Sphere® Medial Knee Prosthesis
There is no consensus within the Arthroplasty community as to whether a traditional post and cam-style Posterior Stabilized total knee device is superior to a medial-pivot, more congruent device. However, the majority of surgeons seem to prefer the former, though there is a minority that uses the latter device with great success. To date, there have been few prospective trials directly comparing these devices, and none with the latest generation of Total Knee Arthroplasty implants. Almost all such studies have been retrospective and/or utilizing older generation devices.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Evaluate the change in Forgotten Knee Scores (FJS) of those patients receiving the Medacta GMK Sphere from baseline to years 2 and 5 post-operatively. [Baseline, 2 and 5 year time points]

      Knee function-patients ability to forget the artificial joint in everyday life.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Total Knee Society Score (KSS) [Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3-6 months, 1,2,3,4 and 5 years.]

      Total Knee Society score questionnaire to assess pain and function

    2. Krackow Activity Scale (KAS) [Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3-6 months, 1,2,3,4 and 5 years]

      The Krackow Activity Scale (KAS) lower extremity activity scale.

    3. Radiographic Analysis [Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3-6 months, 1,2,3,4 and 5 years]

    4. AP long standing X-ray [Pre-operative and 6 weeks]

      Determine degree of Varus or Valgus

    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Patients willing to sign the informed consent

    • Patients able to comply with follow-up requirements including postoperative weight bearing restrictions and self evaluations.

    • Male and non-pregnant female patients ages 21 - 80 years of age at the time of surgery.
