Comparing knee sounds after two different new knee replacement implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first total knee replacement to treat osteoarthritis.
- The posterior cruciate ligament, a ligament inside your knee, is still intact and functional.
- You have not had surgery on your knees before—except possibly a previous arthroscopic procedure (and that only on the same knee).
- You can read and answer questionnaires in French.
- You are covered by French social security and do not have any other serious health condition that would make the trial unsafe.

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 types of knee replacement implants to see if one provides better walking ability.
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 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 different types of knee implants used in total knee replacement to see which one leads to better functioning and comfort after surgery. It is designed for patients having both knees replaced at the same time due to severe arthritis.
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.
