Study measures knee alignment in severe varus osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 65 years old or older
- Have knee osteoarthritis where the knee alignment is “varus” (knee angles inward)
- Have all needed study information (a complete data set)
- Agree to take part by giving consent
- Not have knee arthritis caused by a past injury

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two surgical methods for realigning a knock-kneed position (varus deformity) to relieve inner knee arthritis pain. The surgery cuts and repositions the shin bone to shift weight away from the damaged area, potentially delaying or avoiding knee replacement.
This trial studies whether combining knee bone realignment surgery (osteotomy) with a donor meniscus transplant can improve knee pain and function in people with arthritis from uneven leg alignment. You would need to commit to physical therapy and repeat checkups with X-rays and MRI scans.
This study looks at how a specific computer/measurement approach (“Verasense”) helps position the knee during total knee replacement for people with knee arthritis. It may help improve how the new knee fits and aligns as you recover.
This study looks at patients getting total knee replacement to treat severe knee arthritis. It follows participants over time to understand outcomes.
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 ways of positioning a new knee joint during total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether allowing more freedom in alignment (unrestricted) works better than a stricter alignment method.
