Robotic vs custom knee replacement trial
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your BMI is 41 or lower
- You can have a CT scan of your leg
- You speak German and can follow study instructions

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 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 compares custom-made knee replacements (built to fit your unique knee shape) with standard, off-the-shelf knee replacements. It aims to see if a custom implant leads to better function and satisfaction after surgery.
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.
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 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.
