Long-term study of kneecap after knee realignment surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the kneecap joint holds up many years after a knee realignment surgery (high tibial osteotomy) for inner knee arthritis. If you had this surgery more than 5 years ago, you may be able to join a long-term checkup that uses X-rays and medical records to see how your knee is doing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arthritis on the inside of your knee (medial compartment arthritis).
- You had a surgery called 'high tibial osteotomy' (a realignment of the shin bone) at least 5 years ago.
- You are under 65 years old.
- You have not had any serious injuries to the same leg before.
- You do not have other knee problems like ligament tears, rheumatoid arthritis, or severe health issues that limit daily activities.

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 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 study tracks how well a particular knee revision implant performs over many years. It may help you by closely monitoring your knee after revision surgery and adding to long-term safety and performance data.
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.
This study follows patients who receive a new knee joint replacement for severe knee arthritis or similar conditions. Researchers will track how well the artificial knee works and how patients recover over 5 years to ensure the replacement lasts and improves quality of life.
This study compares two surgical methods for correcting a bow-legged knee caused by arthritis. Both methods aim to realign the knee to reduce pain and improve function, and the trial will see which approach gives better results.
