First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of knee implants (NexGen CR and Persona CR) in 160 people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will measure how well the implants stay in place, how satisfied patients are, and how active they become after surgery. The goal is to find out which implant design leads to better long-term function and quality of life.
