Comparing Surgical and Economical Parameters of Total Knee Replacement.

A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Surgical and Economic Parameters of Total Knee Replacement Performed Using Two Different Surgical Techniques: Medacta MyKnee® Surgical Technique Using Efficiency Single-use Instruments Versus Stryker Navigation Surgical Technique Performed With Conventional Metal Instruments.

Randomized study comparing surgical and economic parameter of Total Knee Arthroplasty performed using two different specific surgical techniques.

Randomized 1: ratio study comparing Medacta MyKnee surgical technique using Efficiency single use instruments versus Stryker Navigation surgical techniques performed with conventional instruments. MyKnee surgical technique patients will receive a CT scan of the surgical knee which enables custom manufacturing of the MyKnee cutting blocks. Stryker Navigational surgical technique patients will not require a CT scan. Both groups of patients will undergo total knee arthroplasty.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 18 to 75 years 2) BMI ≤35 3) Undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis (primary or post-traumatic OA) with the Medacta GMK Sphere 4) Able and willing to give consent and to comply with study requirements, including follow up visit at 6 weeks

Exclusion Criteria:

• Is participating in another clinical study 2) Has inflammatory arthritis 3) Has knee avascular necrosis 4) Has severe deformity, defined as greater than 15 degrees varus or 10 degrees valgus relative to the mechanical axis. 5) Has retained hardware in the knee that requires removal and interferes with TKA procedure 6) Has prior high tibial osteotomy (HTO)
