Robot-Assisted knee surgery: no cement may mean better recovery
NCT ID NCT06929871
First seen Feb 25, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of robotic-arm assisted knee replacement surgery in 120 people with knee osteoarthritis. One group gets cementless implants, the other gets cemented implants. The main goal is to see which approach helps patients 'forget' they have an artificial knee during daily activities.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mako robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty with either cementless or cemented implants
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that cementless robotic-assisted knee replacements lead to better long-term joint awareness and stability than cemented ones.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (120 participants) comparing two surgical techniques. Results may not apply to all patients, and individual outcomes vary.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
