Visionaire Versus Conventional Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study

The purpose of the current study is to validate the technology of MRI-based alignment for
total knee replacements and to collect data on potential advantages of the computer aided
system.

1. It is hypothesized that there will be no significant differences in position,
loosening, or function of the Visionaire total knee as compared to the conventional
total knee.

2. It is hypothesized that the Visionaire total knee will be significantly better with
regard to operative time, tourniquet time, blood loss, and procedural set-up, turnover
time, and overall costs.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult patients with sufficient symptoms from articular knee pathology to be an
appropriate candidate for TKA

Exclusion Criteria:

- prior TKA

- ipsilateral upper tibial or distal femoral osteotomy

- ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty

- patient with significant >15o varus or valgus

- morbid obesity or those patients unable to have an MRI based on thigh circumference
(22 cm or less)
