NCT ID NCT07517614
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 100 adults with knee arthritis who are scheduled for knee replacement surgery. Researchers will measure how changes in the shape of the knee bones after surgery affect how well the knee bends and how much pain patients feel. The goal is to find the best alignment to improve recovery and daily function.
