Knee replacement study tests new alignment method, but stalls after just one patient
NCT ID NCT06617338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if using a patient's healthy knee as a guide for aligning a new knee joint during replacement surgery leads to better results than the standard method. Researchers planned to compare two groups of people with arthritis in one knee, using CT scans to plan the surgery. However, the study was stopped early after only one person enrolled, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.
