Comparing one-leg and two-leg x-rays for knee surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of taking x-rays of your knees (standing on one leg vs. two legs) before and after surgery, to see which method better shows how bowed legs are corrected. It aims to improve how doctors measure the results of knee surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have bowed legs (genu varum) and are scheduled for surgery to correct it, like a high tibial osteotomy.
- You can stand on your own for x-rays.
- You haven't had any leg or knee surgery in the past year.
- You haven't had surgery for bowed legs caused by Blount's disease, rickets, or other bone diseases.
- You are willing to come for follow-up visits and x-rays.

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 tests two non-surgical treatments to improve knee alignment and walking pressure in adults with bow legs. You may get shockwave therapy and/or blood-flow-restriction training (a safe way to exercise muscles with a cuff) to see if these help your knees and how you walk.
This study compares two types of surgery to fix knee alignment in people with mild to moderate inner-knee arthritis and a bow-legged leg shape. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and function.
This trial tests whether special shoe inserts (wedged insoles) combined with ankle straps can reduce pain and improve knee alignment in people with mild bow legs and inner knee pain. It aims to help those who have not had knee surgery and can walk without help.
This trial compares two surgical methods to correct knee alignment in children whose bones are still growing. It will help doctors know which approach works better and is safer.
This study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
