New knee implant aims to get patients moving again
NCT ID NCT05197036
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study follows 299 people who received the Smith+Nephew Porous Total Knee System, a titanium knee replacement for severe arthritis. The goal is to see if the implant reduces pain, improves movement, and lasts at least two years without needing revision surgery. Participants are either getting the implant now or have already received it in the past year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Total Knee Arthroplasty (surgical knee replacement with titanium prostheses)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the Smith+Nephew Porous Total Knee System provides lasting pain relief and improved mobility for people with severe knee arthritis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a randomized controlled trial, so results may not prove superiority over other implants. Some patients may still experience complications like implant loosening or infection.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. A) Subject needing primary TKA due to degenerative joint disease (primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis), post-traumatic arthritis or inflammatory arthritis. OR B) Subject has undergone primary TKA with Smith+Nephew Porous knee system in past 12 months to repair degenerative joint disease, post- traumatic arthritis or inflammatory arthritis and all the following conditions have been met: * Preoperative KOOS JR and radiographs have been obtained * 6-Month KOOS JR and radiographs have been obtained or these can be collected prospectively in window per schedule of events 2. Subject agrees to consent and to follow the prospective study visit schedule (as defined in the study protocol and informed consent form) by signing the Independent Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved informed consent form. 3. Subject is willing to attend study follow-up visits for up to five (5) years post-surgery. 4. Subject is able to read, understand, and communicate responses to Patient Reported Outcome assessments. 5. Subject is 18-80 years old (inclusive). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject received TKA on the contralateral knee as a revision for a previously failed total or unicondylar knee arthroplasty. 2. Subject has a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 40 at time of surgery. 3. Subject has ipsilateral hip arthritis resulting in flexion contracture. 4. At the time of enrolment, subject has one or more of the following arthroplasties that are not fully healed and well-functioning, as determined by the investigator: Ipsilateral or contralateral primary total hip arthroplasty or hip resurfacing arthroplasty; Contralateral primary total knee or unicondylar knee arthroplasty. 5. Subject has a condition that may interfere with the TKA survival or outcome (e.g. Paget's or Charcot's disease, vascular insufficiency, lupus, muscular atrophy, uncontrolled diabetes, moderate to severe renal insufficiency or neuromuscular disease). 6. Subject has a known allergy to one or more of its components of the study device. 7. Any subject with hardware present in distal femur or proximal tibia. 8. Any subject that meets the definition of a Vulnerable Subject per ISO 14155 Section 3.55. 9. Subject is entered in another drug, biologic, or device study or has been treated with an investigational product in the past 30 days. 10. Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, has an emotional or neurological condition that would pre-empt their ability or willingness to participate in the study including mental illness, drug or alcohol abuse. 11. Subject is known to be at risk for lost to follow-up, or failure to return for scheduled visits. 12.
