Comparing two methods for total 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 observational study aims to compare the safety and performance of two surgical techniques for total knee arthroplasty: navigation-assisted OrthoPilot Elite and robotic-assisted MAKO. It is a randomized, controlled, single-center study that will assess the clinical outcomes and functional results of both approaches. The hypothesis is that both techniques will yield similar results in terms of patient recovery and satisfaction. Participants will be monitored for their progress following the surgery.
