Comparing knee replacement alignment methods
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to align a total knee replacement (mechanically vs. kinematically) to see which leads to better function one year after surgery. If you've had a knee replacement a year ago and are generally healthy enough to walk without major issues from other leg joints or nervous system problems, you might be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a total knee replacement (TKA) about 1 year ago
- You are 18 years or older
- You are covered by a social security system
- You can understand the study and sign a consent form
- You do not have a knee replacement on the other leg
- You do not have a condition like severe arthritis in the other knee, hip, or ankle, or a nervous system condition like Parkinson's that affects your walking
