Survivorship of Attune Primary Total Knee Prosthesis

To be considered for this study, you would generally need to be a man or woman between 22 and 75 years old at the time of your knee replacement surgery. You must have been diagnosed with wear-and-tear arthritis (non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease) in your knee and be a suitable candidate for a total knee replacement using the Attune system. You'd also need to be able to understand the study and be willing to attend follow-up appointments.

There are also some reasons why you might not be able to join. For example, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you've already had certain other knee surgeries on the affected knee, like a partial knee replacement. They also couldn't include you if you're currently dealing with specific legal claims related to personal injury or if you have certain other serious medical conditions or psychological issues that might make it hard to participate fully.

If you decide to take part in this study, you would first need to give your informed consent, meaning you understand what's involved and agree to participate. The study involves being fitted with the Attune Primary Knee System during your total knee replacement surgery.

After your surgery, you would have regular follow-up visits with your care team. These visits are where doctors and nurses will check how your knee is healing and performing. You might be asked to complete questionnaires about your pain, daily activities, and how you feel your knee is working. These assessments help researchers understand the long-term success of the knee replacement. The study plans to follow patients for a very long time, up to 15 years after their surgery, so it's a significant commitment.
