Cemented Vs Cementless Persona Keel RCT

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Persona Keel cementless and cemented knee.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to demonstrate safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Persona Keel CR Knee System and instrumentation. Participants that meet eligibility criteria and sign an institutional review board (IRB) Informed Consent form will be randomized to receive either the Persona OsseoTi Keel Cementless System or the Persona Keel Cemented System. Participants will be blinded to which arm they have been randomized to until after surgery.

All study participants will undergo preoperative clinical evaluations prior to their total knee arthroplasty. Investigators will collect clinical data for up to 5 years; follow-up clinic visits will occur at 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery.

A maximum of 10 sites will contribute to this study. There will be a maximum of 300 participants enrolled (150 Cementless, 150 Cemented).

Independent of study participation, patient qualifies for either cemented or cementless total knee arthroplasty based upon physical exam and medical history, and meets the approved indications for use of the commercially available Persona Keel Knee System with appropriately matched Zimmer Biomet components implanted in accordance with product labeling.
