The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for commercially available Persona fixed bearing knee implants used in total knee arthroplasty. The assessment will include implant survivorship and clinical performance measured by pain and function, quality of life data, radiographic parameters and survivorship.
The study design is a prospective, multicenter, study of the commercially available Persona fixed bearing knee implants. The study will require each site to obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval prior to study enrollment. All potential study subjects will be required to participate in the Informed Consent Process. All study subjects will undergo preoperative clinical evaluations prior to their total knee arthroplasty. The post-operative clinical and radiographic evaluations will be conducted at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. All info specified in the Brief Summary will be captured via the Knee Society Score, EQ-5D, Forgotten Joint Score, KSS Patient Expectations, Physical Exam, and Physician's Assessment of Radiographic Outcomes form.

Knee Society Scores
This form includes alignment, instability, joint range of motion, and symptoms. The overall range of scores available is -8 to 106. A higher score indicates good alignment, range of motion, and minimal symptoms of pain. A lower score indicates poor knee alignment, potential issues in range of motion, and the likely experience of symptoms of pain.
Time frame: 5 years post op
EQ-5D
The EQ-5D family of instruments has been developed to evaluate health across a wide range of disease areas. Each EQ-5D instrument comprises a short descriptive system questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The questionnaire provides a simple descriptive profile of a respondent's health state. The EQ VAS provides an alternative way to elicit an individual's rating of the individual's own overall current health. The overall range is -0.1 to 1.0. A higher score indicates a better overall health rating reported by the patient, and a lower score indicates a poor overall health rating. It is possible to score a negative value. Although unlikely, a negative value is observed to be a state worse than death.

Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)
The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tool designed to assess artificial prosthesis awareness during daily activities following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Scores range from 0-100. A score of 100 would indicate a high degree of "forgetting" the artificial joint (a low degree of awareness). A score of 0 would indicates a very low degree of "forgetting" the artificial joint (typically aware of the replacement).
Time frame: 5 years post-op
