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 investigates the clinical utility of the NextAR navigation system in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by analyzing soft tissue balance patterns to achieve more natural knee alignment. It aims to determine if the use of NextAR data can enhance patient outcomes and knee kinematics post-surgery, with assessments conducted preoperatively and at multiple postoperative intervals. The study will utilize standardized clinical evaluations, including various knee scores and 3D gait analysis, to measure the effectiveness of the intervention.
