CAS vs Standard Technique in TKA: Comparison of Clinical and Functional Results
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
conventional total knee arthroplasty: total knee arthroplasty performed with conventional technique
computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty: total knee arthroplasty performed with imageless computer-assisted surgery
Study summary
The study involves the enrollment of a sample of patients with indication for total knee replacement surgery in order to compare the conventional surgical technique currently used in the reference departments with the surgical technique with the aid of computer-assisted navigation.
The comparison between the two techniques will be performed in terms of clinical-functional results, perioperative bleeding and healthcare costs (surgical time, hospital stay).
The research protocol involves the participation of 160 total patients divided into two groups, of 80 patients each, by type of surgical technique.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Knee Society Score (KSS) — From enrollment to 12 months post-operative followup
Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS): there are 2 section, "Knee Score" section and a "Functional Score" section; both sections are scored from 0 to 100 with lower scores being indicative of worse knee conditions and higher scores being indicative of better knee conditions - Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) — from enrollment to 12 months post-operative followup
Set of standardized questionnaires used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the joints. The score measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68). Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. - NRS scale — from enrollment to 12 months post-operative followup
Numeric Pain Rating scale is a unidimensional measure of pain in which a patient selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain possible
