ROSA Knee Intraoperative Planning Flexibility Study

ROSA Knee Intraoperative Planning Flexibility on Japan Preferred Surgical Technique, A Single Center Prospective Study

The purpose of this study is to verify that an orthopedic surgical assist robot (ROSA Knee System) can provide intraoperative adjustment of osteotomy angle and volume for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on feedbacks obtained from intraoperative soft tissue conditions. A total 80 cases will be enrolled at one study site with a postoperative follow-up period of 2 years.

The objectives of the study are to document that ROSA Knee System can provide intraoperative planning adjustment based on feedbacks obtained by laxity as well as gaps to locally preferred surgeon's operative philosophy. This will also provide accuracy, intraoperative soft tissue release as well as patient outcome on locally preferred surgical technique.

The primary endpoint is defined as the mean absolute difference between X-Atlas image-based pre-op plan & intra-op final plan.

The secondary endpoints include Kinematic Analysis, EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D), Rehabilitation record, Knee Society Score (KSS) 2011, image assessment and Safety up to 2 years postoperatively.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has serious bone defect(s), which require(s) metallic augment, synthetic bone or allograft
• Is septic, has an active infection or has osteomyelitis at the affected joint
• Has vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy at the implant site or neuromuscular disease which might jeopardize the outcome of the surgery
• Has any concomitant disease which is likely to jeopardize the functioning or success of the implant
• Is known to be pregnant
• Is a prisoner, known alcohol or drug abuser or mentally incompetent or unable to understand what participation in this study entails
• Has a known sensitivity or allergy to one or more of the implanted materials
