Custom 3D knee alignment may improve walking and pain after surgery
NCT ID NCT07367802
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a 3D patient-specific alignment during knee replacement surgery leads to better walking, less pain, and stronger muscles. Researchers will measure movement, pain, and strength in 45 adults who had surgery two years ago. The goal is to understand if custom alignment helps people recover more naturally.
