This is a prospective, non-randomized, study of the clinical outcomes of participants that receive the Stryker Triathlon® Total Knee System for Total Knee Arthroplasty implanted using ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, study of the clinical outcomes of participants that receive the Stryker Triathlon® Total Knee System for Total Knee Arthroplasty implanted using ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides. Sub-study A aims to quantify the reproducibility of intra-operatively positioning the cutting guides onto the affected femoral and tibial joint surfaces.

Participants will undergo pre-operative assessment using MRI of the affected limb. At the time of surgery, a repeated-measures methodology will be implemented in which the position of the femoral and tibial cutting guides will be measured using the Navigation system. The same surgeon will position each cutting guide a total of 3 times for each patient. Multiple participants will be assessed by each surgeon. No bone cuts will take place using the patient-specific cutting guides. After the study-specific measurements have been taken, the total knee procedure will resume using the Navigation system and associated instruments. No post-operative evaluations will be undertaken as part of this sub-study
Repeatability of Cutting Guide Position
Repeatability of cutting guide position on the distal femur and proximal tibia assessed by repeated measures using computer navigation system for total knee replacement, assessed intra-operatively. Placement of the cutting guides by the surgeon was determined by recording the position of the cutting guide when placed by the same surgeon multiple times. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated for each positioning parameter. This included femoral and tibial varus/valgus,flexion/extension, medial resection, lateral resection and rotation. ICC agreement categories:\>0.75 excellent agreement; 0.75-0.4 good or fair agreement; \<0.4 poor agreement.
Time frame: Intraoperative - participants were followed for the duration of the operation, an average of 1 hour and 50 minutes.
