NCT01637051N/AActiveUpdate OverdueUpdated 50mo ago · Completion was 134mo agoThe Importance of Different Modularity of the Polyethylene Insert for Tibial Component Migration and Adaptive Bone Remodeling After Uncemented Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT) Zimmer NexGen®, (Monoblock vs. Modular Design)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Zimmer NexGen® Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT), Monoblock and Zimmer NexGen® Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT), Modular for Arthrosis of the Knee. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 60 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary
In a prospective randomised study two uncemented tibial components with different polyethylene modularities (Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT) Zimmer NexGen® monobloc and TMT Zimmer NexGen® modular) used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is evaluated. Both tibial component coatings are designed to provide excellent condition for bone ingrowth. The differences between the two tibial components are evaluated by measurements of migration of the tibial component assessed by Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and measurements of the adaptive bone remodeling of the proximal tibial assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A prospective randomized study where the patients are randomized too receive a monoblock tibial component with trabecular metal coating (TMT Zimmer NexGen®) or a modular tibial component (TMT Zimmer NexGen®). Both prostheses are available and approved by the FDA and CE. The only difference between the implants is that of the polyethylene insert (monoblock vs. modular). The operations are performed at the Department of Planned Elective Surgery Z, Gentofte Hospital by two experienced TKA surgeons that will be included in the research group. During surgery a minimum of 4 Tantalum markers (0.8 mm) is inserted in the bone of the proximal tibia and 6 markers are inserted in the polyethylene insert.
