ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods for performing total knee replacement surgery: one using navigation technology called OrthoPilot® Elite and the other using robotic assistance called MAKO®. The goal is to see if both methods are equally effective and safe for patients suffering from knee conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

To join the study, participants should be between 65 and 90 years old and need a total knee replacement. They must also be willing to provide written consent and attend follow-up appointments after the surgery. If someone is under 18, over 90, pregnant, or has certain other medical issues, they might not be eligible. If you participate, you can expect to receive either the navigation-assisted or robotic-assisted surgery and will help researchers understand which method works better for patients like you.
