Ultrasound guidance to map knee motion during surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial uses an ultrasound-based method to carefully measure how your knee moves and helps guide knee surgery. It may help surgeons align and place surgical work more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for knee surgery such as total knee replacement, high tibial osteotomy, or ACL reconstruction
- You do not have an active infection in or around your knee
- Your leg bone shapes and alignment are typical (not unusually shaped or misaligned)
- Your knee is not too unstable (except some instability related to ACL injury if you’re waiting for ACL reconstruction)
- Your knee can bend enough (flexion should be at least 120 degrees)
- Your knee does not have a large inability to fully straighten (no flexion contracture of 10 degrees or more)
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses 3D video and movement tests to understand how your knee moves during everyday activities, right before you have knee arthroscopy for a medial meniscal tear. The results may help improve how doctors assess and treat knee problems.
This study looks at knee replacement surgery done with digital tools like robots or computer guidance. It may help people with knee arthritis find better ways to have surgery and recover.
This study compares two different techniques (mechanical alignment vs. kinematic alignment) used during knee replacement surgery with a special knee system. It aims to see which technique leads to better results for patients.
This trial tests whether using artificial intelligence can improve recovery from total knee replacement by tailoring care to your body's needs. It may help people with severe knee arthritis who have not had major knee surgery before.
This study checks how well your knee moves and how that relates to pain and function in people with severe knee arthritis who are about to get total knee replacement. It may help doctors better plan and evaluate treatment before surgery.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total knee replacement to see which one leads to better knee movement and function. If you need a knee replacement due to arthritis, this trial may help find the best approach for your surgery.
