NCT ID NCT03153449

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing the ATTUNE Revision Knee System in 400 people who need a first knee replacement but have complex bone or joint issues. The implant is normally used for revision surgeries, but here it's being used for primary cases. Researchers will track how well patients can do daily activities over 5 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ATTUNE Revision Knee System (a set of knee implant components)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that the ATTUNE Revision System is a safe and effective option for people with complex knee anatomy needing a first knee replacement.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage, non-randomized study without a comparison group, so results may not prove superiority over other implants. Risks include typical surgical complications like infection, implant loosening, or the need for revision surgery.
