Comparing Clinical Outcome of 2 Different Total Knee Prostheses: Nexgen LPS-Flex Versus AGC - Full Text View

Comparing Clinical Outcome of 2 Different Total Knee Prostheses: Nexgen LPS-Flex Versus AGC

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Hvidovre University Hospital, October 2003

Sponsored by:	Hvidovre University Hospital
Information provided by:	Hvidovre University Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00294528

Purpose

A randomized blinded study is conducted comparing 2 different knee prostheses. Range of motion (ROM), pain, feel of prosthesis, satisfaction and ability to do daily activities are registered at intervals up to one year postop, where patients are informed on which prosthesis they received.

We want to:

determine whether an increased ROM is achieved with a high-flex knee compared to a standard knee
and if so, does it matter

Detailed Description:

100 patients operated on with unilateral TKR are included and randomized to either prostheses.

Patients operated on with bilateral simultaneous TKR receive one of each prostheses but are blinded to which prosthesis is on which side. They have gait analyses performed preop and at intervals up to one year.
