What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of two types of knee replacement systems: the cementless Persona OsseoTi Keel and the cemented Persona Keel. It is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial where participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two systems. Clinical evaluations will be conducted preoperatively and follow-up visits will occur at 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years post-surgery. The study aims to enroll up to 300 participants across a maximum of 10 sites.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults who are eligible for total knee arthroplasty and can provide informed consent.

Not a fit: Patients who are currently involved in other surgical interventions or pain management studies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into which knee replacement option offers better outcomes for patients with chronic knee pain and arthritis.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies comparing cemented and cementless knee replacement techniques have shown varying results, making this approach both relevant and necessary.
