Primary Outcome Measures:

Mechanical Alignment [ Time Frame: Data Collected at 0-10 Weeks; but Analyzed at Completion of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Angle between femoral head, center of knee, and talus.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Knee Society Objective Score [ Time Frame: Completion of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Objective Scoring of Knee Society score is the clinical assessment which includes the sum of range of motion, stability, flexion contracture, extension lag, and alignment scores.

Estimated Enrollment:	306
Study Start Date:	September 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Signature (Signature Cutting Guides)	Device: Signature Custom Cutting Guides Patients who received a Vanguard Knee using the Signature Guide operative technique.

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this prospective clinical data-collection is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the Vanguard® Knee System using Signature™ Custom Guides and Computer Assisted Surgery.

FDA has cleared the Vanguard Knee via premarket notification 510(k) K023546, K033489, and K050222. FDA has cleared the software for the Signature™ Custom Guides via premarket notification 510(k) K073449. The data gathered will be collated and used to provide feedback to design engineers, support marketing efforts, answer potential questions from reimbursement agencies, and will serve as a part of Biomet's Post Market Surveillance System.

Function will be assessed through the Knee Society Score. Survivorship will be documented by asking the surgeon to document revisions and complications.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Inclusion criteria are identical to the indications for use stated in the FDA cleared labeling for the device (510(k) K023546, K033489, and K050222).

These indications are stated below:

Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved.
Correction of varus, valgus, or posttraumatic deformity.
Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or failure of previous joint replacement procedure.
The Regenerex™ femoral augments are indicated for use with the Vanguard® Total Knee System.
The Regenerex™ tibial augments are indicated for use with standard and offset Biomet® Tibial Trays.

Patient selection factors to be considered include:

Need to obtain pain relief and improve function
Ability and willingness of the patient to follow instructions, including control of weight and activity level
A good nutritional state of the patient, and
The patient must have reached full skeletal maturity
Femoral components and tibial tray components with porous coatings are indicated for cemented and uncemented biological fixation application. Non-coated (Interlok™) devices and all polyethylene patellar components are indicated for cemented application only.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria are identical to the contraindications stated in the FDA cleared labeling for the device 510(k) K023546, K033489, and K050222. These contraindications are stated below:

Absolute contraindications include: infection, sepsis, and osteomyelitis
Relative contraindications include:
Uncooperative patient or patient with neurologic disorders who is incapable of following directions
Osteoporosis
Metabolic disorders which may impair bone formation,
Osteomalacia
Distant foci of infections which may spread to the implant site
Rapid joint destruction, marked bone loss or bone resorption apparent on roentgenogram
Vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, neuromuscular disease
Incomplete or deficient soft tissue surrounding the knee.
Biomet® Microplasty™ Tibial Trays are contraindicated for use with constrained bearings.
