Knee surgery showdown: which cut spares your blood vessels?
NCT ID NCT05807451
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways of doing a knee realignment surgery (open wedge high tibial osteotomy) to see which one keeps the important blood vessels behind the knee safer. 40 people with knee arthritis took part. Researchers used CT scans to measure the distance between the surgical cut and the popliteal vessels, aiming to find the safer technique.
