NCT ID NCT06733597
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how bone density in the thigh bone changes after knee replacement surgery. Researchers will compare two ways of fixing the new joint: with cement or without. They will also compare surgery done by hand versus with a robot. 100 people aged 55 and older will take part, and the study lasts about 26 months.
