Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The currently used device name is the LBKSS. The device is a permanent implant that is fixed on the femoral and tibial components of the knee. The implant is achieved in a single surgery and left permanently in place.
Each subject will undergo a surgical procedure to implant a permanent knee support device that is an alternative to traditional knee surgeries to treat osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4455 0
Feasibility of Implantation - This outcome will be assessed post-operatively based on successful completion of implantation.
Timepoint [1] 4455 0
Intra-operative
Primary outcome [2] 4456 0
Incidence of adverse events - The endpoint for the evaluation of the safe performance of the LBKSS will be the frequency, duration, severity and outcome of adverse events collected during the procedure and throughout the study. The relationship of each observed adverse event to the device and the procedure will be assessed and recorded. The severity of the adverse event and its reported relation to the presence of an LBKSS will also be characterized.

Types of possible complications include those associated with surgery (i.e., anesthesia complications, bleeding, infection) and possible complications associated with the device (i.e., allergic reaction, device dislocation or instability, fracture, pain or irritation, tissue wear). Adverse events will be classified as to the severity and relationship to the device/procedure, using a scale of mild, moderate, or severe.
Timepoint [2] 4456 0
The follow-up time points for the study are 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter for the 5 year duration of the study.
Secondary outcome [1] 7526 0
Patient Reported Outcomes - Pain Status (Visual Analogue Scale), SF-36, Western Ontario and MacMaster University (WOMAC), Oxford Knee Score, Lysholm, Tegner, and Hospital for Special Surgery Scale (HSS)
Timepoint [1] 7526 0
All Questionnaires at baseline and at regular intervals through 2 years. Select questionnaires will also be administered annually through 5 years.

The follow-up time points for the study are 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter for the 5 year duration of the study.

Secondary outcome [2] 7527 0
Radiographic Imaging - to assess the appearance of knee joint compared to baseline
Timepoint [2] 7527 0
At baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, & 5 years
