Evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new knee implant extension

A Multicenter, Postmarket Surveillance Study of Subjects With the Canary canturioTM te Tibial Extension

Observational Canary Medical · NCT06040827

This study is testing a new knee implant extension to see if it is safe and works better than a standard knee system for people getting knee replacement surgery.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to assess the safety, reliability, reproducibility, and accuracy of the Canary canturioTM te tibial extension in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving the new tibial extension and the other receiving a standard Zimmer Persona® knee system. The study will monitor various safety endpoints over a five-year period, including revision rates and radiologic changes. Additionally, secondary endpoints will focus on data collection related to patient mobility and gait metrics.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who require primary total knee arthroplasty due to severe knee pain and disability from osteoarthritis.

Not a fit: Patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty or those with staged bilateral procedures may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved outcomes and safety for patients receiving total knee arthroplasty with the new tibial extension.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is observational, similar studies evaluating new orthopedic implants have shown promising results in improving patient outcomes.
