Compare two knee implant types for walking and function
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two designs of knee replacement implants to see how they affect walking, function, and outcomes after surgery. You may be randomly assigned to one of the implant types used for your specific, approved knee replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 to 75 (male or non-pregnant female)
- Be planning your first (primary) total knee replacement on the study knee
- Your planned implant must be one of these models: MicroPort Evolution Medial-Pivot, Cruciate Retaining; or Stryker Triathlon Tritanium Cruciate Retaining (single-radius/single design variants)
- Have no prior knee replacement or other prosthetic device on the operative knee
- Be able to walk now and have no other leg/foot problem that would block walking tests
- BMI 40 or less, and avoid certain conditions like inflammatory arthritis or bone tissue death

This study compares two types of knee replacement implants to see if one provides better walking ability.
This study compares two types of knee replacement implants used with robotic-assisted surgery. The goal is to find out which implant gives better pain relief, movement, and long-term results for people with knee arthritis.
This study compares two types of robot-assisted total knee replacement systems to see if one offers better outcomes. If you have knee arthritis and are planning a knee replacement, you may be able to join and help determine the best approach.
This trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
This study compares two types of knee implants (SpheriKA and Origin) used in total knee replacement surgery with a specific alignment technique. The goal is to see which one may lead to better outcomes for patients needing a first knee replacement.
This study compares two ways to align a total knee replacement (mechanically vs. kinematically) to see which leads to better function one year after surgery. If you've had a knee replacement a year ago and are generally healthy enough to walk without major issues from other leg joints or nervous system problems, you might be eligible.
