Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with end-stage knee osteoarthritis who are indicated for an ATTUNE total knee system.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who require primary revision arthroplasty or have an absolute indication for cemented fixation may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the patient-reported outcomes, survivorship, and complications associated with the uncemented ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients suffering from end-stage knee osteoarthritis. With an increasing number of knee replacements performed annually, the study focuses on a specific population that has not been extensively studied before. By comparing the uncemented ATTUNE with existing knee systems, the research seeks to provide insights into its effectiveness and patient satisfaction over time. Participants will be monitored for their recovery and overall satisfaction with the procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved outcomes and satisfaction for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on cemented ATTUNE knee systems, this investigation into the uncemented version is novel and has not been previously reported.
