View original scientific description
A randomized, controlled study comparing two total knee implant devices, Persona medial congruent (MC) vs posterior stabilized (PS). These surgeries will be performed using the ROSA robotic system. Patients will be followed up to 5 years.
Interventions
DEVICE
Zimmer-Biomet Persona Medial Congruent (MC) Bearing Design
TKA will be performed using the MC Bearing Design. The MC bearing provides medial stability and lateral mobility to facilitate more natural motion.
DEVICE
Zimmer-Biomet Persona Posterior-Stabilized (PS) Bearing Design
TKA will be performed using the PS Bearing Design. The PS bearings are designed to provide ±1.5 degrees varus/valgus constraint and ± 5.5 degrees internal/external rotation constraint.
Primary outcome measures
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR)
Time frame: Baseline
KOOS, JR contains 7 items from the original KOOS survey. Items are coded from 0 to 4, none to extreme respectively. KOOS, JR is scored by summing the raw response (range 0-28) and then converting it to an interval score. The interval score ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 represents total knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health.

Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)
Time frame: Baseline
FJS is a patient-reported outcome measure intended to determine a patient's ability to "forget" about their affected joint after surgery or treatment. FJS consists of 12 questions - the total score range is 0-100. The higher the score, the less the patient is aware of their affected joint when performing daily activities.

European Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) Score
Time frame: Baseline
The EQ-5D comprises five questions on mobility, self care, pain, usual activities, and psychological status with three possible answers for each item (1=no problem, 2=moderate problem, 3=severe problem. A summary index with a maximum score of 1 can be derived from these five dimensions by conversion with a table of scores. The maximum score of 1 indicates the best health state, by contrast with the scores of individual questions, where higher scores indicate more severe or frequent problems. In addition, there is a visual analogue scale (VAS) to indicate the general health status (0-100) with 100 indicating the best health status.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
