Data Collection
Collected from today forward - ProspectiveArthritis
+ Joint Diseases
+ Musculoskeletal Diseases
Case-Only
Examining characteristics of individuals with a disease in order to identify genetic or environmental factors contributing to the condition.Summary
Study start date: November 1, 2011
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.To obtain preoperative, operative and postoperative clinical outcomes data for the Zimmer Gender Solutions PFJ Knee Prosthesis used in primary partial knee arthroplasty such as knee scoring and patient satisfaction such collection using Patient Questionaire and SF-12 forms. Kaplan-Meir survivorship analysis of the device will be performed. Radiographic analysis of the device will also be performed at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 year follow-up. It is planned that the resultant data will be pooled and published by the evaluating surgeons.
