Robotic vs standard knee replacement for inner-joint wear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic-assisted knee replacement with the usual (non-robotic) approach for people with severe arthritis on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It aims to see which method works better for pain and function while matching the right knee anatomy for certain implant types.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re scheduled for elective knee replacement for severe inner-side (medial) osteoarthritis
- Your front knee ligament (ACL) is intact
- Your outer-side knee cartilage is full thickness and in good condition
- Your knee is not too bent inward (varus), and the inner ligament (MCL) is intact
- Your knee bend is correctable enough (not fixed), and you’re between 50 and 75
- You must be able to follow study steps, including scans and questionnaires, and be able to consent

This study compares two ways to do knee replacement surgery: one using a robot and one using a hand-held tool called a caliper. Both aim to put the new knee in a position that matches your natural anatomy, which may lead to a better feeling knee.
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 trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
This study compares two modern ways of doing knee replacement: robot-assisted surgery versus a custom-made implant tailored to your knee shape. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function for people with osteoarthritis.
This study tests a robot-assisted knee replacement using a new type of implant designed to move more like a natural knee. It may help people with arthritis or other knee joint problems who need a total knee replacement.
This trial tests two types of knee implants during robot-assisted surgery. It aims to see which one works better for people needing a first-time total knee replacement due to arthritis or similar conditions.
