Study comparing leg angles in osteoarthritis and healthy people
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares the angles of the lower limbs (hips, knees, ankles) in people with osteoarthritis and healthy volunteers using a special X-ray called EOS. The goal is to understand how arthritis changes leg alignment, which may help doctors plan better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You either have osteoarthritis in your hips, knees, or ankles OR you are a healthy volunteer without osteoarthritis.
- You are willing to have an EOS scan (a low-dose standing X-ray) of your lower body.
- You do not have other knee injuries (like a meniscus tear or ACL tear) that could change the angle of your leg.
- You agree to sign a consent form and let the researchers use your imaging data and knee scores.

This trial uses scans like X-rays, CT, or MRI to study how bones and joints age. It aims to understand aging-related problems and may help develop better ways to detect or treat them.
This study looks at how changes in knee alignment affect symptoms and joint biology in people with early knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat knee OA.
This trial studies the knees of healthy Caucasian adults aged 20 to 35. It helps researchers understand normal knee structure and function.
This study looks at how shoulder arthritis affects joint movement patterns. It compares patients with arthritis, healthy volunteers, and people who had a shoulder replacement that later needed a revision.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis or other types of knee arthritis progress over time, using blood tests and X-rays. It aims to find markers that could predict whether the disease will get worse, which may help guide treatment decisions.
This trial is building a database of full-body standing X-rays in people who do not have spine problems or certain health conditions. If you qualify, your X-rays may help researchers study normal body alignment for future medical use.
