This study compares two ways of doing a knee replacement using the same alignment technique. One method uses a robotic arm for precision, the other uses a measuring tool (caliper). Both aim to give you a well-aligned knee, and the study helps see if one works better.
This study is following patients who are getting a total knee replacement to learn more about how the surgery works and how patients do afterward. If you are planning to have knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis, joining this study may help you and others get better care.
This study compares two types of knee replacement implants to see if one provides better walking ability.
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.
This study compares two ways doctors align the new knee during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which way gives patients better pain relief and function after surgery.
This study compares two different alignment techniques used during total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better results. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the techniques, and the doctors will track your recovery and function afterward.
