NCT ID NCT01754363
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study follows over 1,500 people who received an Attune total knee replacement to see how long the implant lasts—up to 15 years. Participants had non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (like osteoarthritis). The goal is to gather real-world data on the durability of four different knee configurations, helping doctors and patients choose the best option.
