Agenda

• Dr. [insert name] • [insert practice name]

3

• Osteoarthritis (OA) is what happens when your knee cartilage deteriorates, and friction is created between the bone surfaces.

4

What’s the leading cause of knee pain?

• Joints ache after walking, driving, climbing stairs

• Chronic knee pain and knee stiffness

• You may limp to accommodate the pain

• Begin to see a reduced range of motion of the joint

• Bones begin to rub together, causing more pain, swelling, loss of motion

• The joint may begin to change shape

• Small growths, called bone spurs, may grow on the edges of the joint

Mild

Moderate

Severe

Stages of OA Symptoms

5

What are the signs of OA?

• Physical therapy

• Ice down achy joints

• Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications

• Acetaminophen

• Nutritional supplements

• Those treatments may become less effective over time because OA is a progressive disease

• 75% of OA patients are interested in more aggressive treatments for their osteoarthritis1

Non-surgical

Knee Pain Treatment Options:

If you have difficulty performing any of the movements below, it

may be time to talk to your doctor about next steps

WalkBend at the

8

Check Your Mobility

Does your knee hurt one or more days per week?

Does the pain interfere with your sleep?

Is it painful for you to walk more than a block?

Are pain medications no longer working?

Is knee pain limiting your participation in activities such as family vacations or other functions?

Has inactivity from knee pain caused you to gain weight?

If you answered yes to these questions it might be time to speak with your doctor about knee replacement surgery

Questions to Consider

• More than 500,000 knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S.1

• A National Institute of Health (NIH) study shows that 85% of patients are satisfied with the results of their knee replacement surgery.2

Knee Replacement Facts

• The outcome of joint replacements depends on your age, weight, activity level and other factors.

• There are potential risks, and recovery takes time.

• People with current infections or conditions limiting rehabilitation should not have this surgery.

• Potential complications which could result in pain, stiffness or dislocation of the joint include:• Loosening• Fracturing• Wearing of the components

• Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell if knee replacement is right for you.

11

But You Should Also Know…

• Sigma Knees come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and materials

• Your surgeon may be able to fit you with a Sigma Knee designed to provide a more natural feel and movement

• Sigma Knees can be implanted using minimally invasive surgery

12

Sigma® Knees

• Most widely used type of knee replacement in the U.S.1

• Designed to provide stability of the knee

• New designs and materials - Helps reduce wear

1: IMS Health

13

Sigma® Fixed Bearing Knee

14

Rotating Platform Knee

• Designed to rotate as it bends, imitating your natural knee movement

• The surfaces roll and glide against each other as the knee bends, just as your natural knee does

• Designed for patients who want to remain active since it minimizes implant wear, compared to fixed-bearing knees1

• A multi-center DePuy study shows 97% patient satisfaction at 5 years2

1: McNulty, D. et al. “In Vitro Wear Rates of Fixed-bearing and Rotating Platform Knees (Rev. 2)” (2003)

2: DePuy Multi-Center Study (2006)

Sigma® Rotating Platform Knees

• Early diagnosis and treatment for total knee replacement are important1

– Delaying surgery may lower your quality of life before the operation and for up to two years after surgery2

• Pre-existing medical conditions may become more serious, delaying elective surgery3

• Osteoarthritis is degenerative – it won’t get better and may get worse!

• Please note: As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. Only an orthopaedic surgeon can determine whether an orthopaedic implant is an appropriate course of treatment. There are potential risks, and recovery takes time. The performance of the new joint depends on weight, activity level, age and other factors.

What other patients have to say

• The leading cause of knee pain is osteoarthritis

• Osteoarthritis is degenerative – it won’t get better and may get worse!

• Early diagnosis and treatment for total knee replacement are important1

Additional Slides

• What is computer assisted surgery (CAS)?

• A new approach to knee replacement

• The patient’s anatomy is simulated and displayed on a computer

• Computer provides information about where to place the components

24

Computer Assisted Surgery

• CAS guides surgeon in areas that are difficult to visualize

• Relays specific measurements not previously available to surgeons

• Gives precise, accurate data on your specific anatomy

• Allows surgeons to make informed decisions about precise implant placement based on detailed data from the computer

25

Potential Benefits of CAS

• Osteoarthritis affects three times more women than men1

• Women are more likely than men to be disabled• The pain is more severe for women2

• Women’s knees rotate more than men’s, especially during deep bending (kneeling)3

• Current knee replacements are designed to fit the anatomies of both women and men

1: Hawker, Gillian A., et al. "Differences Between Men and Women in the Rate of Use of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.“The New England Journal of Medicine 342 (2000): 1016-10222: Harris Interactive research survey, April 20053: Hsu, Wei-Hsiu, et al. “Difference in Torsional Joint Stiffness of the Knee Between Genders.” The American Journal ofSports Medicine Vol. 34, No. 5 (2006): 765-770.

26

Important Considerations for Women

• All orthopaedic manufacturers have knee implant systems with sizes appropriate for both female and male patients

• Surgeons know which knee will fit each patient best, based on gender, age, size, activity levels and aspirations

• There is no clinical support of the need for gender-specific implants

• It is too early for any clinical data; won’t know results of gender-specific implant clinical studies for 10-15 years

27

Gender-Specific Implants

• More than 60% of knee replacements have been implanted in women1

• Current knee replacement patients have a 90 to 95% satisfaction rate with the results of their surgery2

2: The Arthritis Foundation (http://www.arthritis.org/research/Bulletin/vol51no11/Printable.htm) (2006)

28

Gender-Specific Implants

• Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is still very new

• Sigma Knees can be implanted using minimally invasive surgery

• Alignment affects:• How long your knee

replacement lasts• Long-term success

29

Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery

• Some early studies of MIS have shown some potential benefits of the surgery (when compared to traditional, “open” surgery), such as:

• Less blood loss• Potential for shorter hospital stays• Potential for faster recovery

30

Benefits of MIS

• Other studies, however, have shown several complications with the surgery, (when compared to traditional, “open” surgery), including:

• Increased number of surgical complications• Poor implant positioning• No difference in the length of recovery

31

Complications of MIS

• MIS is still relatively new

• It won’t be known for 10 to 15 years if the new techniques affect the long-term function and durability of the implant

• You should discuss with your surgeon whether MIS is an appropriate surgical course of treatment for you

32
