Study Summary

This trial will compare two different knee replacement surgery techniques using a robot-assisted approach and a conventional approach. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and followed for a year after surgery to assess

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 21-80 with knee osteoarthritis needing a total knee replacement, who have a specific type of knee alignment (varus deformity) between 0 to 10 degrees and healthy ligaments. Participants must be able to follow the study's procedures and provide consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares traditional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the medial parapatellar approach with two ROSA robotic-assisted TKA approaches: one also using the medial parapatellar method, and another using the subvastus method. Patients are observed for one year post-surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed, typical side effects from TKA may include pain at surgery site, swelling, blood clots, infection risk or issues related to anesthesia. Robotic assistance aims to minimize these but introduces risks associated with new technology.
