New 3D-Printed gizmo could help surgeons get your new knee just right
NCT ID NCT06654661
First seen Mar 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This pilot study will test a new 3D-printed mechanical balancer in 50 people undergoing total knee replacement. The device measures force differences on the inner and outer sides of the knee during surgery to help surgeons see if the knee is balanced. The tool is used alongside standard care and does not change treatment decisions. The goal is to see if the device works well in a real surgical setting.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help surgeons better measure knee balance during surgery, potentially improving outcomes for knee replacement patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 50 patients, and the device is not guiding treatment decisions. It may not show clear benefits or lead to changes in surgical practice.
