Official title
A Prospective Randomised Control Trial of Mako Medial Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty Versus Jig-based Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty With Navigation Contro
Overview
The overall aim of this prospective, randomised, single-blinded, controlled trial is to compare clinical outcomes and accuracy of implant positioning in Mako robotic UKA versus jig-based Oxford UKA with navigation control. Patients receiving the Mako robotic UKA (Stryker Ltd) will form the investigation group and those undergoing the jig-based Oxford UKA (Zimmer-Biomet Ltd) with navigation control will form the control group. The primary objective in this study is to compare accuracy of component positioning as assessed by postoperative low radiation dose CT scan between conventional Jig-based Oxford UKA with navigation control and Mako robotic UKA.
Interventions
- Device Medial knee arthroplasty
Surgical intervention where the medial portion of the knee is replaced by an artificial metal and polyethylene implant

- Femoral implant alignment [Time frame: Pre-op then 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post-op]
- Tibial implant alignment [Time frame: Pre-op then 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post-op]
- Operating time [Time frame: Intraoperative]
- Time to discharge [Time frame: 6 weeks post op]

- Short form SF-12 [Time frame: Pre-op; 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) [Time frame: Pre-op; 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
- Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) [Time frame: Pre-op; 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
- European Quality of Life questionnaire with 5 dimensions for adults (EQ-5D) [Time frame: Pre-op; 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
- Mobilisation distance (metres) [Time frame: Pre-op; 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
- Use of mobility aids [Time frame: Pre-op then 6 weeks post-op; 6 months post-op; 1 year post-op; 2 years post-op]
