Knee realignment surgery: what happens to the kneecap years later?

NCT ID NCT06251752

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 50 people who had knee realignment surgery (high tibial osteotomy) for early knee arthritis. Researchers want to see how the surgery affects the kneecap joint and arthritis progression over the long term. Participants are under 65 and had the surgery at least 5 years ago. The goal is to learn more about outcomes, not to test a new treatment.
