Brief Summary

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent condition that results in substantial pain and loss of function. The end stage treatment for knee OA is total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a common and safe procedure typically performed for relief of symptoms. However, an increasing number of patients are complaining about their TKA due to altered sensations between their previous joint and the implant. Although several designs have been proposed to improve these outcomes, the knee kinematics after TKA remains different from physiological kinematics. The Medial Pivot TKA design was introduced to closely mimic normal knee kinematics and create the natural feeling of the knee. This study is intended to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and ability to restore knee motion of two TKA devices: the Medial Pivot Persona TKA Zimmer design with the traditional Zimmer Persona Knee-PS. The investigator's hypothesis is that the Medial Pivot design will results in better patient outcomes and restore knee motion at natural parameters.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Knee mechanics

    nee motion will be assessed using 3-dimensional optical motion capture sampled at 100 Hz, floor and step mounted force plates sampled at 2000 Hz, and wireless 16-channel electromyography (EMG) system sampled at 2000 Hz. Knee motion trials will require participants to ambulate at self-selected speeds over 8 meters followed by complete step up/down trials on a 20 cm step. For step up, the surgical limb will be placed on the step to start while for step down, both limbs will start on the step. The order of step up and down trials will be randomized. Participants will perform 2 practice trials followed by testing. Testing will proceed until 5 successful trials of each activity are collected. They will be allowed 30 seconds of rest between trials. The primary motion capture variables will include principal component scores that capture changes in range of motion for knee rotation and flexion angles for each activity.

Study Arms (3)

Zimmer MP Persona

EXPERIMENTAL

Zimmer MP Persona is total knee prosthesis intended to resurface the articulating surface of the femoral, tibial and patellar bones. It employs modular components between the tibial plates and articular surfaces and a medial congruent bearing manufactured from Vivacit-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene (HXPE). Persona® Medial Congruent Bearing is available in several sizes and offers up to a 13mm anterior lip height to provide greater anterior constraint and subluxation resistance. Can be used with a with both cruciate retaining and posterior stabilized femoral provisionals

Device: Zimmer MP Persona

Zimmer Persona Knee-PS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Zimmer Biomet Persona® Knee-PS is a semiconstrained knee prosthesis that employs modular components between the tibial plates and articular surfaces. The device is intended to resurface the articulating surface of the femoral, tibial and patellar bones. The posterior stabilized (PS) femoral provisionals and components can be used with the PS or constrained posterior stabilized (CPS) bearings provisionals and components when the PCL is deficient and removed.The Persona Femur offers 21 distinct profiles, in 2 mm increments.

Device: Zimmer Persona Knee-PS

Masking Details
The Participants and the researchers at the Constance Lethbridge Rehabilitation Centre responsible for collecting the kinematic and gait data (motion capture, questionnaires, performance measures) will be blinded. For analysis purposes the Participants will be dummy coded (0 = one group, 1 = the other group). The blinded parties will know the dummy code but they will not know which group is assigned to each code.
Purpose
TREATMENT
Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: A prospective, double-blinded, randomized control study consisting of a clinical follow-up followed by a knee kinematics assessment. Patients outcomes will be measured pre-operatively, and at 1 and 2 years post-surgery. Measures will include joint mechanics and neuromuscular activation during walking and stair stepping measured with motion capture and electromyography, and clinical/self assessment including pain in response to physical activity.
