Robotic knee surgery: does implant type affect alignment accuracy?
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of knee implants used during robotic-assisted surgery to see which one gives more accurate alignment. It may help find the best implant for your new knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have knee osteoarthritis that causes symptoms and you need a total knee replacement.
- You can give informed consent to participate.
- Both types of implants can be used in your knee.
- Your knee pain is not too severe (less than 80 out of 100 on a pain scale) or your knee arthritis is not grade 4 (the most severe).

This study compares two types of knee replacement implants used with robotic-assisted surgery. The goal is to find out which implant gives better pain relief, movement, and long-term results for people with knee arthritis.
This study compares two different ways surgeons can align and position a robotic knee replacement to see which gives better results. You'll be randomly assigned to one approach and tracked over time to measure pain, function, and satisfaction.
This trial compares two types of robot-guided knee replacement alignment to see which one helps people do everyday activities better after surgery. If you have “wear-and-tear” knee arthritis, you may be offered one of the two surgical alignment approaches as part of a study.
This study compares two ways of doing a knee replacement using the same alignment technique. One method uses a robotic arm for precision, the other uses a measuring tool (caliper). Both aim to give you a well-aligned knee, and the study helps see if one works better.
This study compares two ways of aligning a robotic-assisted knee replacement to see which one helps patients recover better. The goal is to improve pain and movement after surgery.
This study compares two modern ways of doing knee replacement: robot-assisted surgery versus a custom-made implant tailored to your knee shape. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function for people with osteoarthritis.
