Bone putty as gap filler in knee realignment surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new bone putty used to fill the small gap created during realignment surgery for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if the putty helps the bone heal better and reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have osteoarthritis in one part of your knee (not all over) and need surgery to realign the bone in your thigh or shin.
- You can commit to having CT scans, X-rays, and a follow-up visit 1 year after surgery.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to be part of the study.
- The opening made in the bone during surgery must be 10 mm or smaller.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a bone graft putty called In'Oss to repair bone defects in the upper arm, forearm, thigh, or shin. It aims to see if it helps heal bone gaps during surgery.
This trial tests a procedure called subchondroplasty for people with severe knee arthritis who have bone marrow lesions. It aims to relieve pain and delay the need for knee replacement.
This study tests how well a realignment surgery (osteotomy) works for people with mild knee arthritis and a bent knee that's at least 3 degrees off center. The surgery may also fix other knee problems like a torn meniscus or ligament at the same time.
This trial tests whether adding an injectable bone putty to a non-surgical gum treatment helps repair bone damage from advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It's for people with deep gum pockets and specific types of bone defects around teeth.
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.
