Study of tissue samples during knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is collecting tissue samples from patients having total knee replacement surgery to better understand how orthopedic materials interact with the body. It may help improve future knee implants and treatments.

- Are between 18 and 80 years old
- Are having a total knee replacement for osteoarthritis
- Have osteoarthritis affecting the whole knee joint
- Have a body mass index (BMI) less than 35

This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
This study is testing a new Italian version of a questionnaire that measures how your knee feels and works after knee replacement. The goal is to make sure the questionnaire is accurate for Italian-speaking patients.
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 why osteoarthritis happens in the hip and knee by studying tissue samples taken during joint replacement surgery. If you are already scheduled for a first-time hip or knee replacement and have osteoarthritis, you may be able to join.
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.
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.
