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 study compares two types of surgery to fix knee alignment in people with mild to moderate inner-knee arthritis and a bow-legged leg shape. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and function.
This study compares two surgical methods for correcting a bow-legged knee caused by arthritis. Both methods aim to realign the knee to reduce pain and improve function, and the trial will see which approach gives better results.
This trial compares two types of knee surgery for people with arthritis on the inner side of the knee and bow-legged alignment. The goal is to see which surgery better relieves pain and corrects the leg alignment.
This trial is testing different ways to correct the alignment of the shin bone (high tibial osteotomy) to find the best angle for relieving pain from osteoarthritis on the inner side of the knee. This surgery may help you by redistributing weight away from the damaged area.
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.
