What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment JOURNEY™ II CR Total Knee System for osteoarthritis?

Research shows that the JOURNEY II knee system improves knee function and reduces complications compared to earlier designs. It closely mimics normal knee movement, leading to better pain relief and mobility outcomes.12345

Is the JOURNEY II CR Total Knee System safe for humans?

The JOURNEY II Bi-Cruciate Stabilized Total Knee System has been used in over 100,000 knee replacements worldwide, and studies have assessed its short-term safety in clinical practice. It was designed to address issues like inflammation and dislocation seen in earlier models, suggesting improvements in safety.12467

How is the JOURNEY II CR Total Knee System treatment different from other treatments for osteoarthritis?

The JOURNEY II CR Total Knee System is unique because it is designed to mimic the natural movement of the knee more closely than older knee replacement systems, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing complications like inflammation and dislocation.12467

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JOURNEY™ II CR Total Knee System in subjects with degenerative joint disease (DJD) requiring primary total knee replacement.

Findings from Research

The study involving 80 participants found no significant difference in patient-reported outcomes (Oxford Knee Score) between the newer Journey II BCS and the older Genesis II total knee replacement designs at 6 months post-surgery.
However, the Genesis II group showed superior biomechanical outcomes, including greater walking range of motion and higher peak knee flexion velocity, suggesting it may offer better functional performance compared to the Journey II BCS.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the JOURNEY prosthesis showed promising early results in 32 patients, with significant improvements in knee function and pain scores observed at 3, 6, and 12 months post-operation.
While the procedure was generally safe, with all incisions healing well, complications such as hydrarthrosis and a couple of serious issues (femur fracture and implant dislocation) were noted, indicating the need for careful monitoring in the early postoperative period.
