Navigation vs robotic-arm assisted knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be scheduled for a total knee replacement using a standard fixed-bearing implant.
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You should not have severe arthritis behind your kneecap that requires extra surgery on the kneecap.
- Your overall health must be classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (not extremely high-risk).

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 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 study compares two ways of performing total knee replacement surgery: one where the surgeon uses a robotic arm to guide the cutting, and one where the surgeon works by hand. The goal is to see if the robotic method leads to better implant placement and recovery.
This study tests if robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery is safe and effective. It may help people who need knee replacement surgery by using advanced technology for more precise implant placement.
This study compares two types of knee replacement surgery – one using robotic assistance and one using the traditional method – to see which gives better results. After surgery, you will do a virtual home-based rehabilitation program with exercises and stationary cycling.
This study compares two advanced surgical techniques for knee replacement in patients with knee arthritis. Researchers want to see if robotic-assisted surgery offers any advantages over computer-guided navigation surgery for placing the artificial knee.
