Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with specific knee conditions requiring treatment with the Persona Revision Knee System.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not have a history of knee conditions requiring the Persona Revision Knee System or those who are not eligible based on the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the performance, clinical benefits, and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have undergone primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. It will utilize a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series approach, retrospectively identifying eligible patients and inviting them for prospective follow-up at 1 to 5 years post-surgery. The primary endpoint will focus on improvements in knee function as measured by the Knee Society Clinical Rating System. A total of 20 sites will participate, with an enrollment cap of 380 patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System, potentially improving outcomes for patients undergoing knee surgeries.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies evaluating similar knee arthroplasty systems have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is supported by prior research.
