Knee revision success: 3D metal cones show promise in new study
NCT ID NCT06578897
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 118 people who had knee revision surgery using Medacta's 3D metal cones to support the bone. Researchers measured pain, function, and how often patients 'forgot' about their new knee. The goal was to see if the cones help the knee work better and last longer. Since the study is already complete, the results will add to what doctors know about using these cones.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 3D metal tibial and femoral cones (medical device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that 3D metal cones help support knee revision surgeries, leading to better long-term outcomes for patients with severe bone loss.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed retrospective study with no control group. Results may not apply to all patients, and the device is already on the market, so no major breakthrough is expected.
