Total knee replacement for bow-leg deformity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well total knee replacement works for people who have severe knee arthritis and a bow-leg (varus) deformity. It may help you if you have a lot of knee pain and are considering surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe knee arthritis (grade 3 or 4) with pain at least 5 out of 10.
- Your leg bows inward (varus deformity) by more than 3 degrees.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35 (calculated from your height and weight).
- You are healthy enough for surgery (low anesthesia risk).
- You can follow up for 12 months and give your written consent.

This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
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 ways to perform knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis: traditional manual surgery versus robotic-assisted surgery. Both are standard approaches; the trial tests whether robotic guidance improves how well your knee works after surgery.
This study looks at knee replacement surgery done with digital tools like robots or computer guidance. It may help people with knee arthritis find better ways to have surgery and recover.
This study compares two different ways surgeons can align and position a robotic knee replacement to see which gives better results. You'll be randomly assigned to one approach and tracked over time to measure pain, function, and satisfaction.
This trial tests if a robot-assisted device (ROSA) helps with challenging knee replacements. It compares it to the standard surgery for people with mild knee bowing who need a first-time knee replacement.
