Comparing two knee surgeries for inner knee arthritis with bow-legged alignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of knee surgery for people with arthritis on the inner side of the knee and bow-legged alignment. The goal is to see which surgery better relieves pain and corrects the leg alignment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
