Study Summary

This trial is testing a new system for measuring and guiding knee surgery that is less invasive and more accurate than current methods. The study will test the system's ability to measure knee movement, reproducibility, impact on knee surgery, and correlation with clinical results.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients scheduled for knee surgery, such as total knee replacement, high tibial osteotomy, or ACL reconstruction. They must not have an active infection, severe knee stiffness or bending issues, instability (except due to ACL problems), or unusual lower limb shape/alignment.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a new tool that measures and guides knee movements during surgery using 3D imaging and minimally invasive techniques. It aims to show the tool's precision in measuring kinematics and guiding surgeries compared to traditional methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves surgical procedures, potential side effects may include typical surgical risks like pain at the incision site, bleeding, infection risk post-surgery, swelling around the knees and possible impact on mobility during recovery.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: Repeated Measurements of Knee Alignment and KinematicsActive Control1 Intervention

Patients in the Repeated Measurements Arm will have the kinematic measurement protocol repeated twice before and twice after the surgical procedure; the procedure itself will be performed with the traditional technique, i.e without guidance by the system.

Group II: Computer Guidance of Surgical ActionsActive Control1 Intervention

Patients in the Computer Guidance of Surgical Actions Arm will have the kinematic measurement protocol performed only once before and once after the surgical procedure; the procedure itself will be performed with guidance by the system.
