ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different types of knee implants affect patient satisfaction after total knee replacement surgery for people with knee osteoarthritis, also known as gonarthrosis. Researchers want to see if personalized implants, which are tailored to fit each patient's unique anatomy, provide more satisfaction compared to traditional implants after 24 months.

To participate in the study, you need to be an adult between the ages of 65 and 74 who has agreed to take part. You should have knee osteoarthritis that requires surgery but should not have had any previous knee surgeries or certain medical conditions that could affect your recovery. If you join the trial, you will be monitored over the next two years to help the researchers understand your experience with the different implant types. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know might be interested, it could be a good opportunity to contribute to important research in knee surgeries.
