Custom vs standard knee surgery for knee alignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares a custom 3D-printed surgical guide to the standard technique for a knee realignment surgery called high tibial osteotomy. It is for people with knee arthritis on the inner side of the knee who have not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain mainly on the inner side of your knee that has not improved after at least 3 to 6 months of other treatments.
- You can bend your knee at least 90 degrees and straighten it almost fully.
- Your knee is stable (not loose or giving way).
- X-rays show arthritis only on the inner part of your knee, with the outer part still healthy.
- You are generally healthy overall, with no major medical conditions that would make surgery risky.

This trial compares two methods for a knee realignment surgery called a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to treat arthritis on the inner side of the knee. The study aims to see if one technique leads to better results or fewer complications.
This trial compares different ways of correcting a bow-legged deformity by cutting the shin bone and opening a wedge. The goal is to find the best alignment to reduce knee pain and slow arthritis.
This study compares two surgical methods for realigning a knock-kneed position (varus deformity) to relieve inner knee arthritis pain. The surgery cuts and repositions the shin bone to shift weight away from the damaged area, potentially delaying or avoiding knee replacement.
This study compares two types of osteotomy (bone-cutting and realignment surgeries) for people with knee arthritis that affects only the inner side of the knee and causes a bow-legged deformity. The goal is to find which surgery works better and has fewer complications.
This study tests how well a realignment surgery (osteotomy) works for people with mild knee arthritis and a bent knee that's at least 3 degrees off center. The surgery may also fix other knee problems like a torn meniscus or ligament at the same time.
This trial compares custom-made knee replacements (built to fit your unique knee shape) with standard, off-the-shelf knee replacements. It aims to see if a custom implant leads to better function and satisfaction after surgery.
