Knee alignment and biology in osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes in knee alignment affect symptoms and joint biology in people with early knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat knee OA.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had knee osteoarthritis symptoms for a while (not just after an injury).
- Your knee is misaligned, and you are scheduled for surgery or will use a knee brace.
- You are being followed at UZ Leuven hospital.
- You can have an MRI (no metal implants or claustrophobia).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are 18 or older.
- Your BMI is 30 or lower.

This study tests how well and how safely a knee treatment works for adults with painful knee osteoarthritis seen on X-ray. You might join if you need meaningful pain relief and help with daily function, and can complete required scans and study instructions.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total knee replacement to see which one leads to better knee movement and function. If you need a knee replacement due to arthritis, this trial may help find the best approach for your surgery.
This study looks at how a specific computer/measurement approach (“Verasense”) helps position the knee during total knee replacement for people with knee arthritis. It may help improve how the new knee fits and aligns as you recover.
This study compares two ways of aligning the knee during a total knee replacement and checks how people walk afterward using a walking test. It may help doctors choose the alignment method that best supports safer, smoother walking.
This trial compares two computer-assisted surgical methods for realigning the shinbone (high tibial osteotomy) to treat inner-knee arthritis. It aims to find which technique gives better results for pain and function.
This trial studies knee tissue to find better ways to diagnose early osteoarthritis. It may help people who need a knee injection for pain relief.
