Tested knee replacement alignment during knee surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific computer/measurement approach (“Verasense”) helps position the knee during total knee replacement for people with knee arthritis. It may help improve how the new knee fits and aligns as you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have painful knee arthritis and need a first (primary) total knee replacement
- Your age is 21 to 80
- Your knee alignment is described as “varus” (bow-legged), not “valgus” (knock-kneed)
- You can understand and sign consent and can do required check-ins and self-check surveys
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 45 or less
- You are not currently pregnant

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.
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 ways of aligning the knee during a total knee replacement and checks how people walk afterward using a walking test. It may help doctors choose the alignment method that best supports safer, smoother walking.
This study tests whether using small motion sensors during knee replacement surgery leads to better outcomes. It is for people aged 50–84 with severe knee pain from arthritis or bone damage who are scheduled for a first-time cemented total knee replacement.
This study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
This study compares two ways of positioning a new knee joint during total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether allowing more freedom in alignment (unrestricted) works better than a stricter alignment method.
