Prospective Registry of Knee Pathology in private practice

Prospective Registry of Knee Pathology: A clinical quality registry of patients treated in private practice

Sponsor

Timothy Lording

Enrollment

2,500 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2020

Study Type

Observational

Conditions

Knee pathology, not otherwise specified Knee Instability ACL pathology/rupture

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to analyse and report on outcomes following treatment for patients presenting to a single orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Timothy Lording, for management of conditions affecting the knee. This clinical registry will collate and store patient outcomes collected routinely as part of the standard clinical pathway for knee treatments. Outcomes will include objective joint function, patient reported outcomes (pain, satisfaction, quality of life), radiological findings and rates of revision surgery or complications. The main hypothesis arising from the registry is that specific factors present before treatment will predict the likelihood of a patient experiencing a positive, or negative outcome (whether clinically indicated or patient-reported) following surgery.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a long-term registry study tracking outcomes for patients who receive treatment for knee conditions from a single specialist surgeon at Melbourne Orthopaedic Group. If you have a knee problem — such as instability, arthritis, or another condition — and you are being treated by this surgeon, your results over time (pain, function, quality of life, and any complications) will be recorded and studied. The goal is to build a database that helps doctors better predict which patients do well after different treatments, and which factors might put someone at risk of a poor outcome. Data is collected as part of your normal care through questionnaires before and after your treatment. You are automatically included if you are 16 or older, have a qualifying knee condition, and receive treatment at this practice. You can opt out at any time. The only people excluded are those whose mental health conditions prevent them from completing questionnaires. This type of ongoing registry helps improve the quality of knee care for future patients.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

1. Patients presenting with episodes of giving way (with or without primary anterior cruciate ligament rupture), managed with arthroscopic ligament reconstruction. Outcomes monitored up to 2 years via patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review. 2. Patients presenting with degenerative knee conditions (OA, RA) failing non-operative management, managed with total knee arthroplasty. Outcomes monitored up to 2 years via patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review. 3. Patients presenting with knee osteoarthritis affecting predominantly the medial or lateral compartment (with or without patellofemoral joint involvement), eligible and electing to undergo realignment osteotomy. Managed with opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy, or closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy. Outcomes monitored up to 2 years via patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review. 4. Patients presenting with complaints regarding a previously implanted total knee replacement; reviewed by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon and offered surgical or non-surgical treatment. Outcomes monitored up to 2 years via patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review. 5. Patients presenting with knee conditions not eligible for inclusion in other cohorts. Managed operatively or nonoperatively. Outcomes monitored up to 2 years via patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review.
