Surgeon stress in knee replacement: manual vs computer-assisted
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares how much stress surgeons feel during a partial knee replacement using either a manual technique or a computer-assisted method. The results may help improve the surgical experience and patient outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time partial knee replacement to treat osteoarthritis in one part of your knee.
- You are eligible for both the manual and the robotic-assisted surgical techniques.
- Your surgeon is highly trained in joint replacement surgery.
- You are willing to allow your data to be collected during and after surgery.
- You do not have a history of major knee surgery or hardware that would make the surgery more difficult.
- You do not have inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis.

This trial compares a computer-assisted technique to the standard method for total knee replacement. It aims to see if the computer-assisted approach leads to better clinical and functional outcomes.
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 looks at how different surgical environments affect the stress levels of orthopaedic surgeons. It compares doing joint replacements the traditional way versus using a robot, to see which approach might be easier on the surgeon.
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 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 compares how well the knee is aligned after robotic-assisted knee replacement versus traditional manual knee replacement. It may help patients with osteoarthritis who are scheduled for knee surgery understand if the robotic approach improves alignment and outcomes.
