Bone density after different knee replacement designs
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how bone density around a new knee replacement changes over time, comparing two different types of knee implants. It may help your surgeon choose the best option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older
- You are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement with cement
- Your knee pain and disability are due to osteoarthritis, bone death, or moderate deformities
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for bone density scans
- You are not pregnant

This study tests whether using small motion sensors during knee replacement surgery leads to better outcomes. It is for people aged 50–84 with severe knee pain from arthritis or bone damage who are scheduled for a first-time cemented total knee replacement.
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 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.
This study looks at how bone density in the thigh bone changes after knee replacement surgery, comparing two ways of attaching the new joint (with cement or without). It may help people who have normal bone density or early bone thinning but not full osteoporosis.
This trial uses a special type of X-ray called DEXA to measure bone density after a hip replacement with the CoreHip prosthesis. It aims to see how well the new hip holds up over time, which could help you keep good bone health around the implant.
This study looks at how different designs of knee replacement implants affect how well your knee works after surgery. Researchers will compare outcomes in patients receiving primary (first-time) knee replacements to see which design features work best.
