New knee scan study aims to unlock secrets of 'Runner's Knee' and arthritis
NCT ID NCT07472088
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at how the shape and alignment of the kneecap joint relate to knee pain. Researchers will take 3D CT scans of the knee while people stand (weight-bearing) to see the joint in a natural position. They hope to find links between specific bone measurements and symptoms like pain or stiffness. The goal is to help doctors better understand and treat common knee problems like patellofemoral pain ('runner's knee') and knee osteoarthritis.
