Summary

This study is testing a new computer navigation system (OrthoPilot with pheno4u software) to help surgeons perform knee replacements more accurately. About 120 people who need a total knee replacement will take part. The goal is to see if the new software improves how well the implant is positioned and how satisfied patients feel after surgery.
