NCT ID NCT01542580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a new knee replacement system works for people with severe knee pain from arthritis or previous failed surgeries. About 255 participants will receive the implant and be followed for up to 10 years. The goal is to see if the system improves knee alignment, function, and how long the implant lasts.
