New ceramic knee replacement for active adults under 70
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of knee replacement that uses a ceramic surface to help the knee feel more natural. It may be a good option if you are under 70, have stubborn knee pain from arthritis, and your knee is not too bent out of shape.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 70 years old and were active before your knee problems.
- You have knee osteoarthritis that is bad enough to need surgery because other treatments haven't helped.
- Your knee bends out of shape by less than 10 degrees.
- You are not obese (BMI under 30) and have no inflammatory arthritis or recent infections.
- You are willing to have an MRI and are not allergic to the materials used in the surgery.
