Comparing knee sounds after two types of knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares how much noise the knee makes (and how it feels to the patient) after two different kinds of total knee replacement surgery. It aims to help patients know what to expect after surgery.

This study compares two different types of plastic knee implants (polyethylene) used in total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which one works best for patients with knee arthritis.
This study compares the noise your new knee may make during movement and how you perceive that noise, using two different designs of a new knee replacement implant. The goal is to find out if one type feels quieter and more natural than the other.
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 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 types of knee replacement implants to see if one provides better walking ability.
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.
