Partial vs total knee replacement for inner knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of knee replacement surgery for severe arthritis on the inner side of the knee. One option replaces only the worn inner part (partial), the other replaces the whole joint (total). The goal is to see which approach gives better results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe arthritis only on the inner side of your knee (grade 4).
- The outer side of your knee has no more than mild arthritis (grade 0-1).
- Behind your kneecap, arthritis is no worse than moderate (grade 0-2).
- Your knee is not severely bowed in or out (more than 10 degrees) and cannot be corrected.
- You are between 40 and 90 years old, have not had a previous knee replacement or bone surgery on that knee, and are not pregnant.

This study compares two modern ways of doing knee replacement: robot-assisted surgery versus a custom-made implant tailored to your knee shape. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function for people with osteoarthritis.
This study compares two implant types used for a partial knee replacement (only the inside/medial part) for people with “wear-and-tear” arthritis in that compartment. It looks to see which option leads to better outcomes after surgery and follow-up.
This study compares two ways surgeons can perform a total knee replacement to see which one leads to better recovery and function. If you are having a knee replacement for severe arthritis, this trial might help determine the best surgical technique for you.
This trial compares two designs of partial knee replacements (fixed bearing vs mobile bearing) to see which offers better results and fewer problems for people with arthritis in the inner part of the knee. If you meet the criteria, this study might help you and your doctor choose the best option.
This trial compares robotic-assisted knee replacement with the usual (non-robotic) approach for people with severe arthritis on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It aims to see which method works better for pain and function while matching the right knee anatomy for certain implant types.
This study looks at patients getting total knee replacement to treat severe knee arthritis. It follows participants over time to understand outcomes.
