New cementless knee implant aims to improve mobility in osteoarthritis patients
NCT ID NCT02839850
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is testing a new type of knee replacement implant that does not use cement to hold it in place. The implant, called ATTUNE Cementless Rotating Platform, is designed for people with osteoarthritis. Researchers will follow 540 patients for two years to see if their ability to perform daily activities improves after surgery. The study uses patient questionnaires to measure outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATTUNE cementless rotating platform total knee arthroplasty (a knee implant device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a durable, cement-free knee replacement option that improves mobility and reduces pain for people with osteoarthritis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational device study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove superiority over existing implants. Risks include implant failure, infection, or need for revision surgery.

Exclusion Criteria: * The Subject is a woman who is pregnant or lactating. * Contralateral knee has already been enrolled in this study . * Subject had a contralateral amputation. * Previous partial knee replacement (unicompartmental, bicompartmental or patellofemoral joint replacement), patellectomy, high tibial osteotomy or primary TKA in affected knee. * Subject is currently diagnosed with radicular pain from the spine that radiates into the limb to receive TKA. * Subject has participated in a clinical investigation with an investigational product (drug or device) in the last three (3) months. * Subject is currently involved in any personal injury litigation, medical-legal or worker's compensation claims. * Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, is a drug or alcohol abuser (in the last 5 years) or has a psychological disorder that could affect their ability to complete patient reported questionnaires or be compliant with follow-up requirements. * Subject was diagnosed and is taking prescription medications to treat a muscular disorder that limits mobility due to severe stiffness and pain such as fibromyalgia or polymyalgia. * Subject has a significant neurological or musculoskeletal disorder(s) or disease that may adversely affect gait or weight bearing (e.g., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Charcot disease). * Subject is suffering from inflammatory arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.). * Subject has a medical condition with less than five (5) years life expectancy. * Uncontrolled gout
