Robot vs surgeon: which knee replacement works better?
NCT ID NCT07551856
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of total knee replacement surgery for people with knee osteoarthritis: one done manually and one assisted by a robotic device (VELYS). About 346 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries and followed for a year to see which leads to better pain relief, function, and satisfaction. The goal is to find out if robotic assistance improves outcomes and reduces complications.
