CT scans could make knee replacements last longer in Bow-Legged patients
NCT ID NCT07465484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to improve total knee replacement surgery for people with severe knee arthritis and a bow-legged (varus) deformity. Researchers will use advanced CT scans to compare the angle of the affected leg with the healthy leg, helping surgeons decide how much to correct the alignment. The goal is to develop a personalized approach that leads to better implant positioning and long-term function. The study will enroll 300 adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis and follow them for 12 months after surgery.
