Study of a reinforced knee implant for bone weakness
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, reinforced knee implant for people with a specific type of knee bone weakness. It's for those who already need a knee scope procedure for problems like a meniscal tear or loose cartilage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had knee pain in the affected knee for at least 3 months.
- You are a candidate for knee arthroscopy (a scope procedure) due to a meniscal tear, loose piece of cartilage, unstable cartilage, or mechanical symptoms like catching or locking.
- You do not currently smoke or use tobacco, and have not quit within the last 3 months.
- You do not have a history of substance abuse.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes (A1C over 8) or other conditions that make surgery high-risk.

This trial tests a new type of implant (a fiber-reinforced kneebar) for people with knee pain caused by a bone marrow lesion (BML) and osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if it helps relieve pain and improve knee function.
This study observes patients who have received FH ORTHO knee implants or ligament repairs to see how they perform over time. It may help doctors understand how these devices work in real-world use.
This study tests a new type of implant designed to repair damaged knee cartilage. It may be an option for people with a knee injury who are generally healthy and not taking certain medications.
This trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
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 an implant made from pig tissue for people with multiple injured knee ligaments. It aims to see how well the implant works and whether people can safely follow the required rehabilitation plan.
