NCT ID NCT05003414
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 200 people who receive a cementless knee replacement (GMK Sphere) to see how long the implant lasts and how well it works. Participants have severe knee damage from arthritis or other conditions. The goal is to monitor safety and performance in real-world use, not to test a new treatment.
