NCT ID NCT06880497

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

Some people hear clicking or popping after knee replacement surgery, which can be bothersome. This study compares two different knee replacement designs to see if one causes less noise. Researchers will ask 170 patients about the sounds they hear and how much it bothers them over two years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

total knee arthroplasty (knee replacement surgery)

What this could lead to

If one prosthesis design produces less noise, it could lead to more comfortable and satisfying knee replacements for patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 170 participants, and noise may not be a major factor in overall satisfaction. Results may not apply to all knee replacement patients.
