TKA: Total knee artroplasty with medial parapatellar incision and mechanical alignment without navigation
Study summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to analyze the stability of a cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) over time and compare it to a well-documented implant in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main aim is to answer if there is a difference in stability over time as a measure of long time survivorship in these 2 implants.
50 participants will be randomly allocated to receive either the Triathlon Tritanium (Stryker) or the Global Medacta Knee Sphere (GMK Sphere, Medacta) 3D printed cementless TKAs.
