ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how the position of a specific part of the knee, called the sagittal patellar offset, might be linked to knee pain after surgery. Specifically, the study will focus on patients who are having both knees replaced due to severe arthritis, a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joints. The goal is to see if this knee position can help predict which patients might experience pain after their surgery.

To take part in the trial, individuals need to be over 50 years old and scheduled for a total knee replacement due to severe arthritis. However, those with a history of certain medical conditions, such as cancer or severe knee injuries, won't be eligible. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, volunteers can expect to contribute to important research that could improve knee surgery outcomes for future patients.
