Using a robot for knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if a robot-assisted device (ROSA) helps with challenging knee replacements. It compares it to the standard surgery for people with mild knee bowing who need a first-time knee replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arthritis in your knee and need a total knee replacement for the first time.
- Your knee bows inward but only a little (0 to 10 degrees).
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.
- You have enough healthy ligaments in your knee to keep the posterior cruciate ligament.
- You can attend follow-up visits and complete surveys.

This study compares two modern ways of doing knee replacement: robot-assisted surgery versus a custom-made implant tailored to your knee shape. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function for people with osteoarthritis.
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
This study compares two ways to perform knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis: traditional manual surgery versus robotic-assisted surgery. Both are standard approaches; the trial tests whether robotic guidance improves how well your knee works after surgery.
This study looks at knee replacement surgery done with digital tools like robots or computer guidance. It may help people with knee arthritis find better ways to have surgery and recover.
This study compares two advanced technologies for total knee replacement: a robot that uses a CT scan for guidance versus an augmented reality system that uses no scan. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis.
This trial tests two types of knee implants during robot-assisted surgery. It aims to see which one works better for people needing a first-time total knee replacement due to arthritis or similar conditions.
