Comparing two ways to align a new knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two different techniques (mechanical alignment vs. kinematic alignment) used during knee replacement surgery with a special knee system. It aims to see which technique leads to better results for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting your first knee replacement with the SpheriKA knee system
- You can read and understand the study information and fill out questionnaires in English
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits after surgery
- You do not have severe bow-legged or knock-kneed alignment (more than 15 degrees)
- You can straighten your knee to at least 15 degrees from fully straight and bend it to at least 90 degrees
- Your BMI is 40 or less, and you have not had major knee surgery before (other than a scope or ligament repair)
