NCT ID NCT05805774

Summary

This study aims to find the better surgery for knee fractures in people 65 and older who already have a knee replacement. Researchers will compare fixing the broken bone with plates and screws to replacing the joint with a new artificial knee. The main goal is to see which surgery leads to less pain and better knee function for patients.
