This is a prospective clinical study designed to observe the long-term clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty using a patient-specific, posterior stabilized implant in patients with osteoarthritis.
The study is prospective. Subjects will be implanted with an iTotal® PS Knee Replacement System. The study will include a minimum of 100 subjects across up to 10 sites. The patients enrolled in this study may represent the first cases of the iTotal PS KRS implanted at a particular site; data collected for the first 15 patients at each site will be analyzed separately from the rest of the enrolled population. This will provide visibility towards determining if there exists a learning curve in the implantation process of the iTotal PS KRS. The study sites will be located in the United States.

Change in Baseline from 1-Year in KSS
Change in Knee Society Scores from the pre-operative visit to the 1-year post-operative visit. The Knee Society Score (KSS) includes an Objective Knee Score, Function Score, Satisfaction Score, and Expectation Score. The objective knee score, completed by the surgeon, includes a VAS score of pain walking on level ground and on stairs or inclines, as well as an assessment of alignment, ligament stability, and ROM, along with deductions for flexion contracture or extensor lag. Patients then record their satisfaction, functional activities, and expectations (Scuderi et al., 2012).
Time frame: 2 Years
Change from baseline in KSS at years 2, 5 and 10 post-implantation

Change from baseline in KOOS at years 1, 2, 5 and 10 post-implantation
The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a 42 question knee-specific instrument, developed to assess the patients' opinion about their knee and associated problems.
