NCT ID NCT06578897
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 118 patients who had a second knee replacement (revision) using special 3D metal cones to support damaged bone. Researchers collected patient-reported outcomes like pain and function, as well as X-ray results and complications. The goal was to understand how well the cones work and how long the new knee lasts.

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 (device)
What this could lead to
If the results are positive, this could support the use of 3D metal cones in complex knee revision surgeries to improve patient function and implant survival.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed retrospective study with no control group, so it cannot prove the cones are better than other options. Results may not apply to all patients.
