Using AI to personalize knee surgery for osteoarthritis patients
An Artificial Intelligence-based Approach in Total Knee Arthroplasty: From Inflammatory Responses to Personalized Medicine
This study is testing if using artificial intelligence to analyze different patient data can help personalize knee surgery for people with osteoarthritis and improve their recovery.

What this trial studies
This interventional study aims to utilize artificial intelligence to analyze multimodal preoperative data in order to predict outcomes for patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) due to knee osteoarthritis. By enrolling 197 patients, the study will collect a wide range of data, including genetic, biomechanical, and psychological factors, to create a comprehensive database. The goal is to develop predictive models that can customize surgical interventions and improve patient satisfaction post-surgery. Participants will undergo standard TKA procedures along with follow-up assessments to evaluate their recovery and outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with symptomatic, end-stage knee osteoarthritis and functionally intact ligaments.
Not a fit: Patients with neurological conditions, inflammatory arthritis, previous knee surgeries, or active tumors may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved surgical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction for those undergoing knee arthroplasty.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of AI in orthopedic surgery is emerging, this specific approach integrating multimodal data for personalized knee arthroplasty is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
