Knee implant designed for natural movement tested over a decade
NCT ID NCT03677518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a special knee implant called the Medial-Pivot knee works over the long term. Researchers measured knee bending and checked implant survival about 10 years after surgery in 71 patients. The goal was to see if the implant helps achieve at least 120 degrees of knee flexion.
