Study of metal ions after a specific knee implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how much metal might be in the body after a particular knee replacement type that uses a PEEK HD coupling. It may help researchers understand safety and metal exposure after certain knee implant designs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a MUTARS knee replacement with a PEEK HD coupling, or you are having a revision where a MoM coupling is changed to a PEEK HD coupling.
- You can understand the study and sign the informed consent form.
- You have kidney function that is not reduced (eGFR is 60 or higher).
- You do not have cobalt-and-chrome implants (including some stents or dental implants).

This study looks at outcomes after surgery using the Multigen Plus H knee replacement system, sometimes with special add-on parts called AMF TT cones. It may help improve how well these knee implants work and how patients recover after total knee replacement.
This study looks at whether metal-on-metal hip replacements can affect hearing. It aims to understand if there is a link between these implants and hearing loss.
This study looks at outcomes after a primary knee replacement using the GMK Sphere TiNb implant. It may help researchers learn how well this specific implant works and how patients do over time.
This study measures metal levels in the blood after knee replacement surgery. It may help researchers understand how metal from the new joint affects the body.
This trial studies a specific type of knee replacement and how well it works after surgery for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand which implant approach leads to better outcomes and recovery.
This trial studies how much metal can build up in the body and in the blood in children and teens who will receive certain metal implants during surgery. It may help doctors better understand potential metal exposure and how to monitor it.
