Patient registry for joint replacement and related surgeries
This trial is a “registry,” meaning it collects information from people who choose certain elective joint surgeries. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and safety after procedures like hip and knee operations.
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT07339111RecruitingPhase 3
CARTISTEM vs surgery for knee cartilage damage and osteoarthritis

What taking part in a osteoarthritis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there osteoarthritis clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 19 recruiting osteoarthritis studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a osteoarthritis study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a osteoarthritis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
