Comparing Articular Noise and Its Perception Between Two Different Types of Individualized Total Knee Arthroplasty
Sponsor: Clinique Trenel
Summary
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder leading to pain and limited movement. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has transformed the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, resulting in long-term outcomes that enhance the quality of life for patients. Some individuals report experiencing noise after undergoing TKA. However, there are few randomized controlled trials that assess postoperative noise following the procedure. Additionally, no research has been conducted on individualized TKA, which involves custom-made prostheses tailored to a patient's knee shape. This study aimed to compare the incidence of noise reported by patients who undergo a primary individualized TKA using either cruciate-retaining or posterior-stabilized designs.

Conditions
Interventions
Postero-stabilized total knee replacement for knee osteoarthritis
Total knee arthroplasty in which the osteoarthritic knee is replaced with a postero-stabilized total knee replacement. The postero-stabilized TKA consists of a femoral component with a build-in cam mechanism and a tibial component with a post-mechanism.
Cruciate-retaining total knee replacement for knee osteoarthritis
Total knee arthroplasty in which the osteoarthritic knee is replaced with a cruciate-retaining total knee replacement. The cruciate-retaining TKA consists of a femoral component and a tibial component that leaves the posterior cruciate ligament intact.
