NCT ID NCT03495232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 700 people receiving a Persona total knee replacement to see how well the artificial joint works over time. Researchers will measure pain, function, and quality of life using patient questionnaires, and track how long the implant lasts (up to 10 years). The goal is to understand the real-world performance and safety of this knee system.
