Knee preservation system for osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a smart system to help save the knee joint in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good fit if you have pain on the inner side of your knee with some bowing, and your meniscus is slightly out of place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You have knee pain on the inner side that is mild to moderate
- Your knee has a slight bowing (5 to 15 degrees)
- An MRI shows the inner meniscus is pushed out more than 3 mm and your knee can fully straighten
- The outer meniscus and cartilage are healthy
