Smart knee implant study compares two surgery approaches
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is for people getting a first-time total knee replacement with a specific type of implant. It uses a smart device to track your early recovery and compares two different surgical approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and planning a first-time total knee replacement with a medial congruent polyethylene bearing implant.
- You are eligible for either surgical approach being studied.
- You have an iPhone and can wear it for two weeks before surgery to track your steps.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and complete all follow-up visits.
- You are not having a knee replacement revision, both knees done at once, or another knee replacement during the study.
- You do not have rheumatoid arthritis, use a walking aid, or have poor knee motion before surgery.

This trial looks at how satisfied patients are with a new 'smart' knee implant that tracks motion and function. If you are getting a total knee replacement, you might be able to join and help compare the smart implant with standard implants.
This trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
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 types of cementless total knee replacements to see which one helps you walk better. You may be eligible if you are under 65 and have arthritis on the inner side of your knee with a bow-leg deformity.
This study compares two designs of knee replacement implants to see how they affect walking, function, and outcomes after surgery. You may be randomly assigned to one of the implant types used for your specific, approved knee replacement.
This trial tests two types of knee implants during robot-assisted surgery. It aims to see which one works better for people needing a first-time total knee replacement due to arthritis or similar conditions.
