Metal Levels After Knee Replacement
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study measures metal levels in the blood after knee replacement surgery. It may help researchers understand how metal from the new joint affects the body.

- You are an adult (18 or older).
- You are planning to have a knee replacement (conventional or robot-assisted).
- You have not had any joint replacement surgery before.
- You do not have any metal implants in your body from a past injury (like plates, nails, or screws).

This trial studies a specific type of knee replacement and how well it works after surgery for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand which implant approach leads to better outcomes and recovery.
This study looks at outcomes after surgery using the Multigen Plus H knee replacement system, sometimes with special add-on parts called AMF TT cones. It may help improve how well these knee implants work and how patients recover after total knee replacement.
This trial studies how much metal can build up in the body and in the blood in children and teens who will receive certain metal implants during surgery. It may help doctors better understand potential metal exposure and how to monitor it.
This study looks at how much metal might be in the body after a particular knee replacement type that uses a PEEK HD coupling. It may help researchers understand safety and metal exposure after certain knee implant designs.
This study looks at outcomes after a primary knee replacement using the GMK Sphere TiNb implant. It may help researchers learn how well this specific implant works and how patients do over time.
This study compares a new plastic-and-metal knee implant to a standard metal one for people with severe knee arthritis. If you need a total knee replacement and your knee is not too bent or twisted, you may be a candidate.
