Conformis shared results of a retrospective study of patients showing the superiority of Conformis’ implants in several key measures of clinical success and patient satisfaction. According to the study published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery Reviews, patients who had undergone bilateral total knee replacement preferred their Conformis fully personalized knee compared to their bilateral off-the-shelf knee at a rate of more than 10 to 1.
The study surveyed 47 TKA patients who had a fully personalized Conformis implant in one knee after previously receiving a competitive off-the-shelf implant in their other knee. The study found that 72.3% of the patients studied preferred their fully personalized Conformis knee replacement, compared to 6.4% of patients who preferred their traditional off-the-shelf implant. The remaining 21.3% reported no perceived difference between the two knee implants.
The study, believed to be the first ever to directly examine patient-reported outcomes comparing fully personalized and traditional off-the-shelf implants in the same patient as a control, underscores the higher levels of satisfaction and lower levels of pain and joint awareness associated with fully personalized implants. The patients reported less pain, better perceived mobility and a more “normal” feeling in the fully personalized Conformis implant.
