Smart implant study for knee replacement recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods for total knee replacement using a smart implant that tracks your recovery. It aims to see which approach helps people get back on their feet faster after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement using a specific type of implant.
- You have an iPhone and are willing to carry it for two weeks before surgery to measure your typical daily steps.
- Your knee can bend at least 90 degrees and can straighten out (no severe stiffness).
- You are not having the other knee replaced during the study period, and you are not having both knees done at once.
- You don't use walking aids like a cane or walker, and you can keep up with follow-up visits and emails.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 studies whether a “smart” knee replacement system (CORI) is safe and works well for people getting a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). If you’re a good candidate for a cemented standard knee replacement, the study follows you for two years to check results after surgery.
This study tests whether using small motion sensors during knee replacement surgery leads to better outcomes. It is for people aged 50–84 with severe knee pain from arthritis or bone damage who are scheduled for a first-time cemented total knee replacement.
This study compares two types of knee replacement implants to see if one provides better walking ability.
This study looks at whether a robot-assisted knee replacement plus remote tracking with an Apple Watch and a smartphone app helps people do better after surgery. You may be eligible if you’re an adult getting a planned (not replacement) knee surgery for arthritis and can use the required devices.
