Comparing two knee replacement alignment methods
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of positioning a new knee joint during total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether allowing more freedom in alignment (unrestricted) works better than a stricter alignment method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe knee arthritis (grade 4) in at least one area of your knee
- Your knee is bow-legged (varus) and not knock-kneed
- Your bow-leg angle is between 3 and 10 degrees
- Your knee ligaments are stable and not loose
- You do not have an active knee infection or serious heart/lung problems

This study compares two different surgical techniques for total knee replacement to see which one leads to better knee movement and function. If you need a knee replacement due to arthritis, this trial may help find the best approach for your surgery.
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.
This trial tests two different ways of aligning the new knee joint during a total knee replacement. It aims to see which method gives better results for patients like you.
This study compares two ways to align a total knee replacement (mechanically vs. kinematically) to see which leads to better function one year after surgery. If you've had a knee replacement a year ago and are generally healthy enough to walk without major issues from other leg joints or nervous system problems, you might be eligible.
