Study Summary

This trial will compare outcomes of robotic-assisted versus conventional total knee replacement surgery in patients with end stage arthritis of the knee.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 40-85 with severe knee osteoarthritis who haven't improved after at least 12 weeks of non-surgical treatment. Participants must have a BMI under 40, speak English fluently, and not have had previous open knee surgery or other major knee issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares robotic-assisted total knee replacement using the Navio system to conventional surgery. Both groups receive identical care and implants but differ in surgical technique. Patients will undergo x-rays and complete tests to assess their surgery's success.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for the Navio system, typical risks of knee replacement include pain, swelling, infection risk at the incision site, blood clots, implant problems like loosening or wear, and possible need for additional surgeries.
