Brief Summary
Total knee replacements are operations that are offered to patients who have severe arthritis pain that is affecting daily activities that is no longer controlled with painkillers. The operation will replace the worn joints with metal implants and a plastic spacer. Total knee replacements are successful operations in the vast majority of patients. However, a small minority of patients are not entirely satisfied with the outcome of their knee replacement. Researchers are studying whether the precise positioning of the implant has an effect on the outcome. This study will look at whether patient-specific instrumentation improves implant position and if it leads to improved patient function so that we know what to recommend in the future.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change from Baseline Gait Kinematics at 1-Year
Gait of patients will be analysed pre-operatively, six-weeks post-operatively, and 1-year post-operatively by 3D motion capture technology. The change measured over time at 1-year will be the primary outcome.
1 year post-operatively
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Patient Satisfaction (Pain/Hospital experience/functional ability/Surgery expectations)
1 year post-operatively
Oxford Knee Score (Patient reported outcome measure of pain and function)
6 weeks post-operatively
