  Purpose

This study will evaluate whether design features of one implant design allows more knee bend than the other. Patients will have 1 design in the left knee and 1 design in their right knee. Both knee surgeries will be on the same day.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Knee Society Passive Flexion at 6 Months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The patient lies supine (on their back) on the table and a medically trained professional moves the limb to bend the knee to a maximum flexion position. The angle of flexion is measured with a goniometer, which is an angle-measuring device.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Single Leg Passive Flexion at All Scheduled Follow-up Visits: 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 6 Months and 12 Months. [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Effect of Subject Demographics and Anthropometrics on ROM [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • AKS Score [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • KOOS Score [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Knee Pain [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Ability to Perform Activities [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Crepitus [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Subject Satisfaction [ Time Frame: Pre-operative, 2 and 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Single Leg Active Flexion at 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 6 Months and 12 Months. [ Time Frame: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: PFC Sigma RP-F
PFC® Sigma™ RP-F knee implant is a posterior stabilized cemented component cemented that is implanted with a standard posterior stabilized surgical technique.
 Device: Total knee replacment using the PFC Sigma RPF knee implant.
Total knee replacment
Active Comparator: PFC Sigma RP
P.F.C.® Sigma™ Rotating Platform (RP) Cruciate Retaining Knee System has a special insert that helps the knee move more like it did before the knee replacement.
 Device: Total Knee Arthroplasty
Comparison of 2 different knee designs in bilateral total knee replacement.
Other Name: P.F.C.® Sigma™ RP Knee implants
Device: Total knee replacement using the PFC Sigma RP knee implant
Total knee replacement

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the passive, non-weight-bearing flexion is superior with the posterior-stabilized PFC® Sigma™ RP-F compared to the posterior-stabilized PFC® Sigma™ RP in bilateral Subjects receiving both implants and if this difference is a function of implant design.
