Two ways to place knee replacement parts
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of aligning the thigh bone during knee replacement surgery. One method uses a guide inside the bone, the other uses a guide outside the bone. The goal is to see which gives better results and allows for a smoother recovery.

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 compares two ways to align a total knee replacement (mechanically vs. kinematically) to see which leads to better function one year after surgery. If you've had a knee replacement a year ago and are generally healthy enough to walk without major issues from other leg joints or nervous system problems, you might be eligible.
This study compares two different alignment techniques used during total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better results. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the techniques, and the doctors will track your recovery and function afterward.
This study compares two ways doctors align the new knee during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which way gives patients better pain relief and function after surgery.
This study looks at outcomes after surgery using the Multigen Plus H knee replacement system, sometimes with special add-on parts called AMF TT cones. It may help improve how well these knee implants work and how patients recover after total knee replacement.
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.
