New tool aims to make knee surgery more precise
NCT ID NCT06264076
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new tool to help surgeons balance knee ligaments during total knee replacement. The goal is to see if the tool makes the procedure more accurate and repeatable. About 40 adults with knee arthritis will take part. The study focuses on measuring how much the ligament stretches, not on curing the disease.
