About this trial

The objective of this observatory is to generate additional real life clinical data in accordance with local regulation (i.e. Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study, a study carried out following the European Conformity (CE) marking of a device and intended to answer specific questions relating to clinical safety or performance (i.e. residual risks) of a device when used in accordance with its approved instructions for use (IFU).

The difficulty of such an observatory is to be able to collect data on the different versions of the devices, on the different possible combinations of implants of an knee arthroplasty. The observatory must also be able to cover devices used in ligament reconstruction surgery.

The observatory will be based on the principle of a "dynamic" cohort during the inclusion period, i.e. with possible inclusions to replace the premature exits.

Technical solutions will be implemented to facilitate data collection from surgeons (electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) and from patients (Electronic Patient Reported Outcome (ePRO) on smartphone/tablet/computer) when feasible.

The data to be collected and the different follow-up times are based on our state-of-the-art, clinical evaluation plans and clinical evaluation reports.

Eligibility criteria

Patient is at least 18 years old at the time of surgery

Patient agreeing to participate after having been informed orally and in writing (with written consent if required locally)

In some countries, such as France, the patient will have to be socially insured to be included in the study.

Disqualifiers

Infection, or latent infection

A mental or neuromuscular disorder that might create an unacceptable risk of instability, prosthetic fixation failure, or complications after surgery

Insufficient bone stock for proper implant fixation

It is the surgeon's responsibility to make sure that the patient does not have any known allergies to one of the compounds of the material listed on the product label.
