Knee replacement showdown: which implant helps you recover faster?
NCT ID NCT07595861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 40 people who had knee replacement surgery to see if the type of implant affects recovery. One group got a cruciate-retaining implant, the other a posterior-stabilized implant. Researchers measured pain, function, fear of movement, quality of life, and how much patients 'forgot' about their new knee at 3 and 6 months after surgery. The goal is to help doctors choose the best implant for each patient.
