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 people with arthritis mainly on the inner side of the knee. The goal is to see which surgery gives better results, so you can make a more informed choice with your doctor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe arthritis in the inner part of your knee, but only mild or no arthritis in the outer part and under the kneecap.
- You have not had previous knee replacement or bone-cutting surgery on the same knee.
- You have no recent fractures or infections in your knee area.
- You are between 40 and 90 years old.
- Your knee alignment is straight enough (not too bow-legged or knock-kneed).
- You are willing to have surgery on only one knee at a time.

This trial tests a new partial knee replacement for people with arthritis in the inner part of the knee. It aims to relieve pain and improve function while preserving healthy knee tissue.
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 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 compares two ways of doing a knee replacement to see which one causes less pain and helps patients recover faster after the operation.
