Post-operative Leg Alignment Primary · 6 weeks

The number of participants with knees achieving post-operative leg alignment was taken by radiographic assessment at 6 weeks. Post-operative leg alignment was achieved when the deviation from the participant specific target did not exceed ±3 degrees.

Component Alignment: Femoral Antero-Posterior (A/P) Angle Secondary · 6 weeks

Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. From the A/P radiograph, the femoral flexion angle in degrees was obtained using standard radiographic tools. Femoral flexion angle is defined as the angle formed between a line across the base of the femoral condyles and a line that is centered along the femoral canal.

Component Alignment: Tibial Antero-Posterior (A/P) Angle Secondary · 6 weeks

Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. From the A/P radiograph, the tibial angle denotes the angle formed on the medial side of the knee from intersecting lines parallel to the tibial base plate and a line drawn parallel to the tibial canal.

Component Alignment: Total Antero-Posterior (A/P) Valgus Angle Secondary · 6 weeks

Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The total valgus angle is the sum of the femoral flexion angle and the tibial angle.

Component Alignment: Lateral View Femoral Flexion Angle Secondary · 6 weeks

Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The lateral view femoral flexion angle in degrees was obtained from the intersection of a line from the center of the femoral implant to the top of the femur with a line through the femoral canal. The angle is measured on the proximal side of the intersection.

Component Alignment: Lateral View Tibial Angle Secondary · 6 weeks

Component alignment assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery. The lateral view tibial angle in degrees was obtained from the intersection of a line drawn parallel to the bottom of the tibial base insert and a line through the center of the tibial base and the tibial canal.

Radiographic Assessment Secondary · 12 months

Radiographic assessment measured by number of participants with any radiographic finds on antero-posterior (A/P) and lateral (L) views (yes/no). Radiographic findings indicated the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis \& implant migration.

The 2011 Knee Society Score consists of 4 separate sub-scales. The Patient Expectation Score is three items with a range of 0 to 15, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. The Expectation score indicates the patient's opinion on the extent they expect the operation to improve their knee pain, and ability to perform activities of daily living and recreational activities.

Oxford Knee Score (OKS) Secondary · Baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months

The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a Patient Reported Outcome questionnaire that was developed to assess perceived function and pain answered on a Likert scale. Responses to each question ranges from 0-4 with a range of a possible overall score from 0-48. A score of 0 is the worst possible outcome while a score of 48 is the best possible outcome.
