Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have undergone total knee arthroplasty and are suspected of having aseptic loosening.

Probably not a fit

Patients with clear alternative diagnoses for their knee complaints, such as septic loosening or recent surgical interventions, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of the AtMoves Knee System in diagnosing aseptic loosening in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive additional CT scans using the AtMoves system, while the other will not. The primary outcome measure is the percentage of failed outcomes, defined as a decrease in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-PS) at 12 months. Both groups will complete questionnaires during a one-year follow-up to evaluate their outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve diagnostic accuracy for patients with knee prosthesis issues, leading to better treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using advanced imaging techniques for diagnosing joint issues, suggesting potential success for this approach.

* Subjects must be capable of giving informed consent and must be willing to undergo examination with the AtMoves Knee System.

Exclusion Criteria:

* A clear other cause for complaints other than aseptic loosening (e.g. septic loosening, neuropathic pain, non-consolidated peri-prosthetic fracture of the bone around the TKA)
* Surgical interventions of the index knee in the year prior to the start of the complaints associated with TKA loosening.
