Comparing computer-assisted and standard techniques in knee replacement surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study enrolls patients who require total knee replacement surgery to compare the outcomes of conventional surgical techniques with those that utilize computer-assisted navigation. It aims to evaluate clinical and functional results, perioperative bleeding, and healthcare costs associated with each technique. A total of 160 patients will be divided into two groups of 80, each receiving one of the surgical approaches. The study will assess various metrics to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the two methods.
