Knee surgery study tests two ways to handle the kneecap
NCT ID NCT03081260
Summary
This study compared two surgical techniques used during total knee replacement: resurfacing the kneecap with an implant versus leaving the natural kneecap cartilage in place. It involved 250 adults with severe knee arthritis who needed a first-time knee replacement. Researchers followed patients for 12 months after surgery to see which technique led to better knee function and patient satisfaction.
