Knee X-ray measurements before realignment surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors measure the knee joint using special X-rays before a surgery called high tibial osteotomy (realigning the knee to relieve pain from arthritis). It aims to make measurements more accurate for people with knee osteoarthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have osteoarthritis in the inner part of your knee.
- You have pre-surgery full-length standing X-rays and a special X-ray view called a Rosenberg view.
- You have not had earlier ligament surgery or a knee osteotomy.
- You do not have a nerve/muscle or metabolic disorder.
- Your medical records are complete, and you agree to participate.
- Your X-rays must include a reference ball for accurate measurement.

This study looks at how well the kneecap joint holds up many years after a knee realignment surgery (high tibial osteotomy) for inner knee arthritis. If you had this surgery more than 5 years ago, you may be able to join a long-term checkup that uses X-rays and medical records to see how your knee is doing.
This study compares two surgical methods for correcting a bow-legged knee caused by arthritis. Both methods aim to realign the knee to reduce pain and improve function, and the trial will see which approach gives better results.
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.
This study tests how well a realignment surgery (osteotomy) works for people with mild knee arthritis and a bent knee that's at least 3 degrees off center. The surgery may also fix other knee problems like a torn meniscus or ligament at the same time.
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 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.
