About
This is a multi-center, open-label, prospective and retrospective clinical outcomes study. Patient outcomes data is important for assessing the post-market safety and effectiveness of orthopedic medical devices. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical and patient outcomes and survivorship data for patients who have received or will receive an Exactech Knee System total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prosthesis manufactured or distributed by Exactech Inc (Gainesville, Florida, USA).
Subjects will, or will have already, undergo/undergone TKA as prescribed by the operating surgeon in a medical center with appropriate facilities and appropriately trained personnel. Treatment will be with the knee replacement components described in this protocol. The surgical procedure shall be conducted according to the appropriate Surgical Technique (Reference #: 712-35-41 and 712-35-35 as applicable) and product labeling for an Exactech Knee System and in accordance with the standard of care of the operating surgeon.
The medical devices and procedures used in this study are considered standard of care and are not considered investigational or experimental.
Information about the subject's preoperative conditions, demographics, previous surgical procedures, devices used, surgical procedure, postoperative outcomes, radiographic outcomes, and adverse events should be collected according to the Protocol Activity Schedule below:
Cohort 1. Prospective Subjects Enrolled in the study pre-surgery:
Cohort 2. Retrospective-to-Prospective Subjects - Subjects Enrolled in the study post-surgery.
Cohort 3. Retrospective Only Subjects - Data collection for the Retrospective Only Subjects will occur through a retrospective, observational, medical chart review.

Full description
Enrollment targets are based on, but not limited to, a sample size of 1879 primary subjects. Subjects will be enrolled based on a statistical estimation of the sample size needed to examine the primary outcome of survivorship (i.e., implant revision). The below table describes the distribution of enrollment. Additional subjects and component types may be enrolled beyond those described below.
Truliant CR, n=308 Cemented Femoral, n=154 Porous Femoral, n=154 Tibial Insert CR, n=154 Tibial Insert CRC, n=154
Truliant PS, n=610 Cemented Femoral, n=305 Porous Femoral, n=305 Tibial Insert PS, n=305 Tibial Insert PSC, n=305
Logic CR, n=308 Cemented Femoral, n=154 Porous Femoral, n=154 Tibial Insert CR, n=154 Tibial Insert CRC, n=154
Logic PS, n=610 Cemented Femoral, n=305 Porous Femoral, n=305 Tibial Insert PS, n=305 Tibial Insert PSC, n=305
Constrained Condylar Components, n=43 CC Cemented Femoral Components, n=43 CC Tibial Inserts, n=43
Each product's subgroups share the same parameters and assumptions resulting in equal sample size. Sample sizes are estimated by component to ensure sufficient clinical data on each Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) component from each system. Because a patient must undergo a TKA with both a tibial insert and a femoral component, that individual patient will count toward the sample size for each component. All calculations consider an estimated 40% attrition rate.
The sample size calculations indicate the estimated width of the 95% confidence limits for the primary endpoint, namely implant survivorship at 10 years, based on data obtained from the literature. The calculation generated a proposed sample size sufficient to support a 10-year survivorship analysis. To ensure data consistency and quality across the planned study time points, the sample size estimation is applied to the prospectively enrolled subjects only.
Standard follow-up visits should be conducted to collect ongoing subject outcomes data. Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) may be available for subjects/sites to use for collection of safety data and patient reported outcomes.
Paper Case Report Forms (CRFs) will be provided to assist sites with data collection, if requested. The use of paper CRFs may be implemented into the site's workflow completely, partially, or not at all. All data submitted to Exactech through an eCRF within the EDC must be verifiable in the patient's medical records or paper CRF. The original source of data submitted via electronic case report forms (eCRFs) for this study must be established prior to data collection.
An electronic data capture (EDC) system will be used for recording data in this study. The EDC system provides an electronic version of the paper forms that allow for simple online completion and submission of the forms. The EDC system can be accessed from any computer with internet capabilities and provides a secure internet connection for data entry.
Each site will need to be assigned login information (User ID and Password) from Exactech to access the forms. Sites will also be provided with the paper forms, if requested, so that all appropriate data can be collected during each subject visit. The data collected on the paper forms can then be used to complete the online (Internet) forms.
Investigative sites will be notified of incomplete or discrepant data so that corrections or additional data can be provided, as appropriate. Whether a site is using paper or electronic forms it is important to fill out each form as completely, legibly, and accurately as possible before submitting it to the Sponsor via eCRF.
Analysis of clinical outcomes will be summarized using appropriate descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, medians, minimum and maximums for continuous variables, and percentages for categorical variables at each point in time).
A Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis will be performed to account for variability in length of follow- up.
Device-related complications, both "possibly," and "definitely" related, as well as serious adverse events will be summarized by reporting the total number of reported events by the number of operative cases.
Study monitoring will occur according to the Monitoring Plan set out specific to this study. The monitoring duties are to aid the Clinical Investigator in the production and maintenance of complete, legible, well-organized, and easily retrievable data. In addition, the Monitor will be responsible for ensuring the Clinical Investigators' understanding of the CIP and all applicable regulations.
This investigation will be conducted in accordance with the principles of BS EN International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14155:2020 titled "Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects" and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) GCP (Good Clinical Practice) guidelines.
