Study of spine alignment after hip or knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how the alignment of your spine relates to your walking and posture after hip or knee replacement surgery for wear-and-tear arthritis. It may help doctors better understand how to monitor recovery and long-term function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arthritis from wear and tear in your knee or hip
- You have already had a knee or hip replacement surgery
- You have had follow-up care for at least 1 year after that surgery
- You can have measurements of your full trunk and leg alignment (front-to-back posture) before and after surgery, as part of the study
- You have not had previous hip surgery or previous spine 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 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 looks at why osteoarthritis happens in the hip and knee by studying tissue samples taken during joint replacement surgery. If you are already scheduled for a first-time hip or knee replacement and have osteoarthritis, you may be able to join.
This study tests different surgical alignment techniques during total knee replacement (a surgery to replace a damaged knee joint) for patients with knee arthritis. Researchers want to see if certain alignment methods improve how well your knee works after surgery.
This study examines whether getting a hip replacement changes how your knee aligns and functions. Researchers will compare knee imaging before and after your surgery to understand this connection.
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.
