Brief Summary: Randomized evaluation of the ShapeMatch Cutting Guide for primary total knee replacement (TKR) in a consecutive series of patients who meet the eligibility criteria.
Detailed Description: This study will be a prospective, randomized evaluation of the ShapeMatch Cutting Guide for primary total knee replacement (TKR) in a consecutive series of patients who meet the eligibility criteria. Forty-eight cases enrolled will receive the Triathlon® Cruciate Retaining Total Knee System (Triathlon® CR) in a procedure using patient-specific cutting guides to reproduce the natural kinematic alignment of the knee. Another forty-eight cases enrolled will receive the Triathlon® CR device in a procedure using patient-specific cutting guides modified to provide neutral overall limb alignment of the knee. And the last forty-eight cases will receive the Triathlon® CR device in a procedure using traditional instrumentation intended to achieve a neutral overall limb alignment.
