ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new technology called an augmented reality-based navigation system to help improve the accuracy of Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgeries for patients with gonarthrosis, which is a painful condition affecting the knee. The goal is to see if this new system can align and position the artificial knee parts as well as or better than traditional methods, which could lead to better recovery and knee function after surgery. The trial will also look at whether using this technology is cost-effective compared to standard techniques.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with gonarthrosis affecting a specific type of knee alignment, requiring a Total Knee Replacement. However, certain conditions, like having a history of specific knee surgeries or other significant joint issues, would exclude someone from participating. Those who join the trial will have the opportunity to receive care using this innovative technology, and their experiences will help determine its effectiveness for future patients.
