The goal of this study is to generate clinical evidence and evaluate the safety and performance of the Persona® SoluTion® PPS Femurs in the US market, with data supporting global regulatory submissions, including CE marking under EU MDR. The target population consists of adults undergoing knee arthroplasty with the Persona SoluTion femoral component paired with a Medial Congruent (MC) or Posterior Stabilized (PS) articulating surface in line with its current cleared Instructions for Use (IFU). The primary endpoint is the assessment of clinical performance and benefits by evaluating the average change in the KOOS JR score between pre-operative and 2-year post-operative follow-up.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
The screening population will consist of patients for whom clinical decision has been made to use the Persona® SoluTion® PPS femoral implant in total knee arthroplasty prior to enrollment in the research.
Change in KOOS JR Score between pre-op and 2 years post-op
A 7-item shortened version of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), specifically designed to assess knee health in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Raw scores are converted to an interval score ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 represents complete knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health (higher scores indicate less pain and better function).
Time frame: 2 years
KOOS JR Score
A 7-item shortened version of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), specifically designed to assess knee health in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Raw scores are converted to an interval score ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 represents complete knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health (higher scores indicate less pain and better function).
Time frame: 5 years
Oxford Knee Score (OKS)
A 12-item PROM was specifically designed and developed to assess function and pain after TKA. This tool is short, reproducible, valid, and sensitive to clinically important changes. Possible scores range from a minimum 0 to maximum 48 points, with higher scores indicating less pain and fewer functional limitations.
Time frame: 5 years
EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire
The EQ-5D-5L instrument comprises a short descriptive system questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The questionnaire produces an "index" score that ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 is the value of a health state equivalent to dead; and 1 is the value of full health, with higher scores indicating higher health utility. The EQ VAS is a 0 -100 scale where patients are asked to indicate their overall health on the day of questionnaire completion. 100 indicates the best health imaginable and 0 indicates the worst health imaginable. Change in Index and EQ VAS scores will be compared from baseline to 2-year follow-up as well as from baseline to 5-year postoperative follow-up for each cohort. This change will also be compared between the cohorts.
Time frame: 5 years
Numeric Rating Scale (Pain)
The 11-item pain NRS asks patients to rate their current pain intensity from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"). It is the most widely used instrument for pain screening with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Time frame: 5 years
Survival Rate of Implant
Survival Rate (Survivorship) will be both assessed by revision/additional surgeries to the affected joint due to aseptic loosening only or by revision, removal, exchange of the implanted device due to any reason. Aseptic loosening and other reasons for additional surgeries may be identified by radiographic imaging.
Time frame: 10 years
Frequency and types of Adverse Events
The safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified.
Time frame: 10 years
Assessment of the prevalence of metal hypersensitivities using a metal Lymphocyte Transformation Test (LTT)
The Orthopedic Panel 2 tests for hypersensitivity to aluminum, cobalt, chromium, iron, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, zirconium, titanium alloy particles, cobalt alloy particles, bone cement particles, and bone cement liquid.
Time frame: 10 years
