Comparing knee implants for same-day double knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different types of knee implants used in total knee replacement to see which one leads to better functioning and comfort after surgery. It is designed for patients having both knees replaced at the same time due to severe arthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 80 years old, any sex, and your BMI is below 35.
- You have osteoarthritis in both knees (at a severe stage), and plan to have both replaced in one operation.
- Your knees are not too bowed (inward curvature of 15 degrees or less).
- The ligament at the back of your knee (posterior cruciate ligament) is intact.
- You have not had previous knee surgery, your knee can bend at least 90 degrees, and you have no other major health problems that would make surgery risky.
