About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The purpose of the present pilot study is to evaluate, through gait analysis and rating scales, the functional outcome during the execution of motor tasks with high functional demand such as walking on an unstable surface, stair ascent and descent, maximal knee flexion under load (lunge) on a sample of 20 subjects candidates to cemented total knee arthroplasty with MP design at the Orthopedic and Traumatology Clinic 2nd of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute. The parameters obtained will be compared with the parameters of healthy subjects comparable by age and Body Max Index (BMI) already acquired at the Movement Analysis Laboratory of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, where the study will be conducted.

On the day of admission to the ward (generally the day before the scheduled surgery), the enrolled patients will undergo the evaluation scales and gait analysis at the Institute's Movement Analysis Laboratory.

The patients will be operated by the team of the Traumatological Orthopedic Clinic 2nd through the implantation of a cemented total knee prosthesis MP (Evolution medial-pivot knee system, MicroPort Orthopedics). Anterior knee access with medial para-patellar capsulotomy and standard instruments will be used according to current standards of good clinical practice.

In the post-operative period, patients will carry out post-surgical rehabilitation following normal clinical practice.

The patients will be re-evaluated at a 6-month follow-up through gait analysis and evaluation scales on the occasion of the control visit that takes place, according to the normal clinical practice at the Institute.

The group in the trial

  • MP-TKA groupTreatment being tested

    20 patients candidates for cemented TKA with MP design for tri-compartment gonarthrosis will be recruited on indications of the surgeon and according to normal clinical practice at the Orthopedic and Traumatological Clinic 2nd of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute.
