Navigation-assisted knee replacement with two alignment methods
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-guided technique for total knee replacement and compares two ways of aligning the new joint. It may help improve how accurately the surgery is done, which could affect comfort and function afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old for the knee surgery
- You need to be scheduled to get a total knee replacement using the Optetrak Logic CR device
- You must be able and willing to attend all pre-surgery and follow-up visits
- You must be able to read, understand, and sign written consent
- You should not have an active or suspected body infection (or infection from elsewhere that could spread)
- You should not be pregnant

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 a computer-guided system for total knee replacement. It aims to see if using the OrthoPilot® navigation system helps improve surgical precision and long-term results.
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 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 trial compares two types of robot-guided knee replacement alignment to see which one helps people do everyday activities better after surgery. If you have “wear-and-tear” knee arthritis, you may be offered one of the two surgical alignment approaches as part of a study.
This study compares two ways of aligning a new knee joint during robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. It aims to see which alignment method helps patients recover better after surgery.
