Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • mean intraoperative time

    Time measured in pre-defined segments from the point that the patient is wheeled into the OR until the OR is clean and ready for the next case's activities to begin.

    measured during surgery (day 1)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • alignment accuracy

    3 weeks post-op

Study Arms (2)

Custom Cutting Blocks

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Total Knee Arthroplasty with Custom Cutting Blocks

Computer Assisted Surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Total Knee Arthroplasty via Computer Assisted Surgery

Interventions

Subjects randomized to this study group will undergo TKA with patient specific custom cutting blocks generated by pre-op MRI and a Biomet Vanguard knee implant

Also known as: Signature Knee System

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

  • must be 18 years of age or older
  • must be capable and willing to provide informed consent
  • must have flexion contracture less than 15 degrees.
  • must have ligament stability no more than 2 degrees instability in varus/valgus extension stress

You may not qualify if:
