NCT ID NCT07284524

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This trial tests a new surgical system for knee osteoarthritis that uses 3D planning, custom guides, and augmented reality to improve alignment and reduce pain. About 150 people aged 40-70 with mild-to-moderate knee arthritis will be assigned to either the new system or traditional surgery. The goal is to see if the new approach leads to better knee function and fewer complications over 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

HTO procedure with 3D-printed guides and AR feedback

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more precise and effective surgical technique for knee osteoarthritis, potentially improving pain and function while reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new system is complex and may not outperform standard surgery in practice.
