This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance of GMK SpheriKA knee stem prosthesis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients willing to sign the informed consent.

Patients able to comply with follow-up requirements, including postoperative weight-bearing restrictions and self-evaluations.

Patients 18 - 80 years of age at the time of surgery.

Patients requiring a primary total knee replacement (on label use).

Disqualifiers

Patients with inflammatory arthritis.

Morbidly obese patients, with a body mass index (BMI) > 40.

Patients with a history of total or unicompartmental reconstruction of the affected joint.

Patients that have had a high tibial osteotomy or femoral osteotomy.

Trial population

281 participants are planned for the entire project (all sites combined). Patients requiring "GMK® SpheriKA" implanted via the kinematic alignment technique will be informed and enrolled during the preoperative visit. The study is conducted as standard of care treatment and participants will receive the same treatment and undergo the same postoperative assessments as non-participants.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary objective will be evaluated with the Forgotten Joint score (FJS).

study the efficacy of the treatment to make the patient forget the presence of the artificial joint in everyday life. The Forgotten Joint Score assessment consists of 12 questions and is scored on a 0-100 scale. The higher the score, the less the patient is aware of their affected joint when performing daily activities

Time frame
6 weeks, from 1 to 10 years annually

Secondary outcomes

"Patient Satisfaction" is a five-question 40-point scale that is collected preoperatively and at each follow-up visit.

Time frame
6 weeks, from 1 to 10 years annually
3

Radiological outcomes

Radiological assessment including implant positioning, presence of radiolucent lines, subsidence, migration of components, presence of heterotopic ossifications or osteolysis

Time frame
pre-op, 6weeks, 1, 2,5,10 years
4

Adverse events

Adverse events (type of complications, dependent or not from the device etc)
