NCT ID NCT00733915
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested the DePuy LCS Complete mobile-bearing total knee system in 241 people needing knee replacement due to arthritis. The goal was to see how well the implant and surgical tools work during and after surgery. Researchers measured implant survival, knee function, and patient-reported outcomes like pain and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DePuy LCS Complete mobile-bearing total knee system (a prosthetic knee implant device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that the LCS Complete knee system is a reliable option for knee replacement, potentially improving mobility and reducing pain for people with severe knee arthritis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-group, non-comparative study, so results may not show how it compares to other knee implants. Long-term success depends on factors like patient health and surgical technique, and some patients may still experience complications or need revision surgery.
