What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tracks surgeon stress during partial knee replacements. Using a wearable vest, researchers measure heart rate, breathing, and energy burned while surgeons operate with either a manual or computer-assisted technique. The goal is to see if computer guidance makes the surgery less physically demanding for the surgeon. About 80 surgeons will take part.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

the study population consists of adult patients scheduled for elective, primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) at a high-volume orthopedic specialty center. This population includes individuals with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis limited to a single compartment (medial or lateral) who have failed conservative management. The cohort represents a broad range of body mass index (BMI) scores and age groups, reflecting the typical demographic of patients seeking partial knee replacement. Participants are selected based on the surgeon's clinical decision to utilize either a manual technique or a computer-assisted/robotic system, allowing for a real-world observational comparison of surgical physical demand.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * primary, elective unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). * Clinical and radiographic evidence of symptomatic unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. * Candidates for either manual or computer-assisted/robotic cemented UKA. * Procedures performed by fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons to ensure technical consistency. * Patients willing and able to provide informed consent for the collection of perioperative data. Exclusion Criteria * Revision Surgery: Patients undergoing revision knee arthroplasty (as the study focuses on primary cases). * Complex Scars: Presence of significant prior knee surgery or hardware that may abnormally increase surgical difficulty. * Inflammatory Arthritis: Patients with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (optional, depending on your focus). * Non-elective or trauma-related knee procedures. * Surgeon Limitation: Any physical condition of the participating surgeon that prevents the use of the wearable monitoring garment.
