Comparing two knee alignment surgeries for inner-knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
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 compares two computer-assisted surgical methods for realigning the shinbone (high tibial osteotomy) to treat inner-knee arthritis. It aims to find which technique gives better results for pain and function.
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.
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.
