Survivorship of Attune Primary Total Knee Prosthesis

This post-marketing investigation will evaluate the long term (up to 15 years) survivorship of the Attune Primary Knee Prosthesis in patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease. Data from Subjects who receive one of four knee configurations will be pooled to establish a contemporary dataset.

About this study

Approximately 30 sites, worldwide, will recruit 1200 patients (1200 knees). Each study site is expected to enroll approximately 50 patients (50 knees). An additional 10 subjects per site may be recruited at sites which have Sub-Investigators participating in the study. Cohort reallocation is permitted. There is no control group. One thousand two hundred (1200) Subjects will be stratified into 4 subgroups of 300: cruciate retaining fixed bearing(CR FB), cruciate retaining rotating platform (CR RP), posterior stabilized fixed bearing (PS FB), and posterior stabilized rotating platform (PS RP).

Treatment assignment in this study is not randomized. Each site will only enroll patients in one of the four knee configuration sub-groups most commonly used as their standard of care.

This study allowed for enrolment into the study by two methods. The first method was by enroling subjects to receive the implant under study with the expectation to follow them out to 15 years. The second method was done to offset follow-up attrition. The second method allowed additional interested sites that had previously participated in a two-year follow-up study (NCT01746524) on this implant (subjects implanted and followed for two years) to reconsent interested subjects to be further followed out to 15 years in this study. The original 29 sites enroled 1232 subjects. Adding of the interested sites from the 2-yr follow-up study (NCT01746524) increased the sites from 29 to 37 sites. As of the last study update, the current enrolment is now1538.

    EuroQol 5D 3L questionnaire is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome that is designed for completion by the subject.

  9. Patient-reported Outcome: Oxford Knee Score

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a patient self-administered 12-item questionnaire with each question having a Likert-lie response option. Each item is scored from 0 to 4, and the items are summated, with lower total scores indicating poorer performance. The OKS measures pain and general activities of daily living.

  10. Patient-reported Outcome: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a patient self-administered questionnaire that consists of 42 questions and includes the WOMAC Osteoarthritis index. The KOOS consists of 5 subscales; pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), sport and recreational function and knee related quality of life. Each question has 5 Likert- like response options. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    The Pre Surgical and/or Post-surgical Patient's Knee Implant Performance (PKIP) questionnaire is a patient self-administered questionnaire that consists of 25 questions relating to the patient's awareness of their knee. Questions include the patient's self-confidence about the current status of their knee performance, stability, and overall satisfaction. Each question has a 5, 6 or 10 Likert- like response option.

  12. Patient-reported Outcome: Knee Society Score

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    The Knee Society Score is a self-administered questionnaire. The subject completes questions regarding: Symptoms (3 questions), Patient Satisfaction (5 questions), Patient Expectations (3 questions), Functional Activities (5 questions), Standard Activities (6 questions), Advanced Activities (5 questions), and Discretionary Knee Activities ( 4 questions). Likert responses are used, typically with five response options.

  13. Evaluate the impact of surgeon learning curve on clinical and functional outcomes

    Time frame: <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    A surgeon learning curve will be investigated by comparing learning curve cases (the pooled cohort of each surgeon's first 10 study Subjects) with all investigational Subjects. All primary and secondary outcomes will be compared across the learning curve and post-learning curve Subject cohorts.

  14. Evaluate changes in femoral component and tibial component alignment

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).

    Radiographs will be reviewed by an independent radiographic reviewer (IRR) in order to minimize bias of radiographic outcomes. Data from the IRR radiographic evaluations will be used to evaluate femoral and tibial component alignment over time.

  15. Type and Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs) for all enrolled subjects

    Time frame: Pre-op (-90 to -1 days before surgery), <1 year (1 - 303 days), minimum 1 year (304 - 668 days), minimum 2 years (669 - 1763 days), minimum 5 years (1764 - 3588 days), minimum 10 years (3589 - 5413 days), minimum 15 years (5414 - 5658 days).
