NCT ID NCT07514598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a J-shaped skin incision, instead of the usual straight cut, can reduce numbness and pain after total knee replacement. Sixty-two patients with severe knee arthritis were randomly assigned to get either the standard or the J-shaped incision. The researchers measured the numb area around the wound and pain levels up to 6 months after surgery.

What this could lead to
If successful, this simple change in surgical technique could reduce numbness and pain after knee replacement, improving patient comfort and satisfaction.
