Robotic knee replacement: comparing two implant designs
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of knee replacement implants used with robotic-assisted surgery. The goal is to find out which implant gives better pain relief, movement, and long-term results for people with knee arthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be a good candidate for a first-time (not repeat) knee replacement surgery.
- Your knee damage must be due to arthritis (wear-and-tear), rheumatoid arthritis, or a bone condition (avascular necrosis), not from a past injury.
- You must be willing to come back for check-ups for 2 years after surgery.
- You cannot have an active infection, a body mass index (BMI) over 40, or need both knees replaced at the same time.

This study compares two modern ways of doing knee replacement: robot-assisted surgery versus a custom-made implant tailored to your knee shape. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function for people with osteoarthritis.
This study compares two advanced technologies for total knee replacement: a robot that uses a CT scan for guidance versus an augmented reality system that uses no scan. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis.
This study compares two ways to perform knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis: traditional manual surgery versus robotic-assisted surgery. Both are standard approaches; the trial tests whether robotic guidance improves how well your knee works after surgery.
This study compares two types of robot-assisted total knee replacement systems to see if one offers better outcomes. If you have knee arthritis and are planning a knee replacement, you may be able to join and help determine the best approach.
This study compares two different ways surgeons can align and position a robotic knee replacement to see which gives better results. You'll be randomly assigned to one approach and tracked over time to measure pain, function, and satisfaction.
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
