Robotic versus standard knee replacement for severe knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares a robotic-assisted knee replacement to a standard (non-robotic) knee replacement. It may help people with severe knee arthritis learn which approach improves pain and knee function after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a robot-assisted knee replacement (MAKO) to a standard manual knee replacement. It is for people with end-stage knee arthritis who have not found relief from non-surgical treatments.
This study compares two ways to perform knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis: traditional manual surgery versus robotic-assisted surgery. Both are standard approaches; the trial tests whether robotic guidance improves how well your knee works after surgery.
This study compares robot-assisted knee replacement surgery to the standard procedure. Both groups will do a virtual home-based rehabilitation program. It aims to see if one approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This study compares two different high-tech tools used during total knee replacement surgery: one that uses a navigation system (OrthoPilot) and one that uses a robotic arm (MAKO). The goal is to see if one method leads to better results. If you're having a total knee replacement, this trial could help your surgeon choose the best approach.
This study tests if robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery is safe and effective. It may help people who need knee replacement surgery by using advanced technology for more precise implant placement.
This trial compares a robot-assisted knee replacement technique to the standard approach for people with severe knee arthritis. It aims to see which method leads to better recovery and outcomes.
