About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Osteoarthritis focused on measuring Primary PCL-retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty, Intraoperative Sensors, Ligament Balancing, Clinical Outcomes
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject must be a candidate for a primary PCL retaining total knee arthroplasty
- Subject must be diagnosed with one or more of the following conditions: osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, rheumatoid or other inflammatory arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis
- Subject is between the age of 45 - 80 years
- Subject is likely to be available for all study visits
- Subject is able and willing to sign the informed consent and follow study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior total knee arthroplasty, ligament insufficiencies, prior surgeries such as ACL or PCL reconstructions, posterolateral reconstructions, osteotomies, tibia plateau fractures
- Range of Motion less than 90 degrees, flexion contracture of more than 20 degrees
Sites / Locations

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Rehabilitation Potential
Secondary Outcome Measures
Knee Society Pain and Functional Scoring (KSS)
The Knee Society Clinical Rating System is comprised of two distinct sub-scores: one for pain, range of motion (ROM) and joint stability, and one for functional parameters. Sub-scores range from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.
Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)
The FJS is based on the patients' ability to forget about a joint as a result of the treatment. The FJS assessment is scored on a 0-100 scale. The higher the score, the less the patient is aware of their affected joint when performing daily activities.
3D Gait Analysis velocity
3D gait analysis relates to the range of motion of a joint and the movement velocity. The mean gait speed analysis is considered higher than 1 m/s.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objectives of this study are to understand the effects of soft-tissue balancing on Gait, function and rehabilitation potential after sensor-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty and correlate Intra-operative subjective feel with OrthoSensor Outputs
Secondary objectives are to quantify and observe:
Pain medication use
Swelling
Muscle strength and girth
Gait efficiency
Patient satisfaction
Activity levels, functional return (i.e., back to work, resume normal activities)
Patient perception of a balanced knee

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Sensor-assisted TKR (Verasense)
Intervention Description
Verasense is a single use, disposable device embedded with microelectronics into a standard tibial trial to provide dynamic, intraoperative feedback regarding limb alignment, tibiofemoral position and quantitative pressure at peak contact points in the medial and lateral compartments during total knee replacement surgery. Utilizing sensor-derived data, the surgeon can now evaluate intercompartmental loading throughout the range of motion, and correct for soft-tissue abnormalities while receiving real-time feedback regarding joint balance.
