Comparison of haptic assisted versus non-assisted uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty
ISRCTN ISRCTN77119437
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Comparison of haptic assisted versus non-assisted uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty
Scientific title Comparison of post-operative function following MAKOplasty® unicondylar knee arthroplasty, using MAKOplasty® and the MAKO RIO® System, versus OXFORD® partial knee arthroplasty
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source N/A
Study hypothesis MAKOplasty® performed with assistive haptic arm technology will result in less variability in post-operative mechanical knee alignment, and an associated improvement in post-operative function, activity and satisfaction, as compared to the standard unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
Ethics approval Pending as of 26/01/2010:
1. NHS Research Ethics Committee, Glasgow Royal Infirmary
2. Ethics Committee, Research and Innovation, University of Strathclyde
Study design Prospective single-blind single centre randomised controlled trial
Countries of recruitment United Kingdom
Disease/condition/study domain Early-mid stage osteoarthritis of the knee
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Male or female subjects may be recruited to the evaluation
2. Age - there are no restrictions relating to age of the patient. The patient's age must be considered suitable by the clinical investigator for a unicondylar knee arthroplasty using either of the two systems available in the evaluation.
3. Subjects who are able to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this investigation and from whom consent has been obtained
4. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are able to understand this investigation, co-operate with the investigation procedures and are willing to return to the hospital for all the required post-operative follow-ups
5. Subjects who require a unicondylar knee arthroplasty for primary surgical management of idiopathic osteoarthritis
6. Patients who in the opinion of the Chief Investigator are considered to be suitable for treatment with a MAKOplasty® and OXFORD® unicondylar knee replacement
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have an existing condition that would compromise their participation and follow-up in the study
2. Patients who require revision knee arthroplasty surgery
3. Patients with any tibial deformity requiring tibial component augmentation
4. Patients whom, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, require a total knee prosthesis
5. Patients with inflammatory polyarthritis
6. Disorders of the feet, ankles, hips or spine causing significant abnormal gait or significant pain
7. Neurological conditions affecting movement
8. Patients with a pathology which, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, will adversely affect healing
9. Patients with other disorders which, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, will/could impair rehabilitation
10. Contra-indications for use of the device, as detailed in the package insert
11. Women who are pregnant. If there is uncertainty over pregnancy then a pregnancy test will be conducted.
12. Subjects who are known drug or alcohol abusers or with psychological disorders that could effect follow-up care or treatment outcomes
13. Subjects who are currently involved in another clinical study with an investigational product
14. Subjects who are currently involved in any injury litigation claims
Anticipated start date 19/04/2010
Anticipated end date 18/10/2021

3. Pain Visual Analogue Score (VAS) - measured daily for 1 week post-operatively, weekly for 8 weeks post-operatively and at 3 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years post-operatively
4. Fuctional section of AKSS - measured daily for 1 week post-operatively, weekly for 8 weeks post-operatively and at 3 months, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years post-operatively
5. 12-item short form health survey (SF-12) - measured pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively
6. Canadian Occupational Performance Score (COPM) - measured pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively
7. UCLA activity scale - measured pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively
8. Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) score - measured pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively
9. Operation times - measured peri-operatively
10. Complications - measured any time following surgery
11. Knee angles during functional tasks - measured 1 year post-operatively
12. Frequency/type of activity - measured over 1 day at 1 year post-operatively
13. Gait velocity, knee angles and moments - measured 1 year post-operatively
