Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The aim of the study is to provide information on safety and efficacy of three types of knee prostheses, manufactured by Stryker.

Who can participate?
Up to 16 hospitals/clinics will participate in the study.
Up to 1600 patients will be included in the study (20-100 per centre).
All patients of one of these centre who are eligible for a total knee arthroplasty replacement surgery with one of the three Stryker knee prostheses (Scorpio NRG/X3, Triathlon/X3, Triathlon PKR/X3) and who have consented to participate can be enrolled in the study.

What does the study involve?
This is an observational study. That means that all the patients participating in the study will be followed according to the current practice of their surgeons. The study will just collect the data (that will be anonymized) to be able to perform statistical analysis and assess the safety and efficacy of the knee prostheses.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
This study does not provide additional risk for the patients, as all the patients are followed according to the common practice of their surgeons. No payment will be done to the patient. The patients will be followed according to the common practice of all the investigators.

Where is the study run from?
This study takes place in Germany, Luxembourg, and the UK

When does the study take place?
June 2012 to December 2024

Who is funding the study?
Stryker European Operations BV (Netherlands)

Study objectivesThere is no specific study hypothesis as this is an observational study.

The objective is to provide outcomes information with regard to surgical and implant performance and patient clinical outcomes of the patients who are eligible for a either a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) replacement surgery involving either:
1. Scorpio NRG Total Knee System with X3 insert
2. Triathlon Total Knee System with X3 insert
or
1. Partial Knee Resurfacing (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, UKA) involving:
2. Triathlon PKR (Partial Knee Resurfacing) System with X3 insert

All other centres will seek ethics approval before recruiting participants
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOsteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis or other diseases requiring total knee arthroplasty or partial knee resurfacing.
InterventionIt is anticipated that the patients shall be recruited within a 12 month period at each participating centre. The length of surveillance and patient visit schedule is based on the routine procedures of the institution. The surveillance system is set-up to record data at pre-operative, intra-operative and 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years follow-up.

Safety during follow-up and Survivorship as described by Kaplan-Meier survival curves

Standard clinical parameters and KSS (Knee Society Score) as well as patient questionnaires [EQ5D (EuroQol Group) and KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score)] pre-operatively and each follow-up visit.
