ConforMIS announced results from two in vivo clinical studies comparing the motion patterns of patients with ConforMIS' iTotal versus off-the-shelf knee implants.
In the first study, researchers evaluated ConforMIS customized implant patients and off-the-shelf implants patients while they performed a variety of activities. The study showed:
• Ninety-one percent of patients with a ConforMIS customized knee experienced a motion pattern and rotation consistent with the normal knee, compared to only 56 percent of patients with an off-the-shelf implant.
• None of the ConforMIS patients had any abnormal lift off of the implant compared to 56 percent of traditional, off-the-shelf patients.
In the second study, researchers evaluated kinematics of patients with a ConforMIS customized implant versus patients with off-the-shelf implant while they performed basic movements. According to the results of the study:
• All ConforMIS subjects experienced posterior femoral rollback of their lateral condyle, consistent with the motion of a normal knee as compared with only 50 percent of off-the-shelf subjects.
• Subjects in the ConforMIS arm achieved more natural rotation patterns and more normal contact patterns of the femur and tibia compared to off-the-shelf implant subjects.
Results were presented at the 2014 International Congress for Joint Reconstruction Pan Pacific Orthopaedic Congress.
