This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a long-term tracking study of the Physica System knee replacement, a device that has already been approved by the FDA and is used in regular medical practice. Researchers want to follow patients who receive this implant over 10 years to understand how well it works, how long it lasts, and how patients feel after surgery. Your participation helps doctors learn whether this knee replacement continues to work well for people over time.
Knee replacements help people with severe knee arthritis or damage regain mobility and reduce pain, but doctors need long-term information to understand how these implants perform over many years. This study exists to gather real-world data on how the Physica System holds up and how patients fare during their recovery.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would undergo knee replacement surgery with one of the Physica System implants (the specific type depends on what your doctor determines is best for your knee). After surgery, you would visit the clinic for check-ups at regular intervals over 10 years—with measurements, X-rays, and assessments of how well your knee is working and how you're feeling. Some patients in an additional group may have shorter follow-up lasting 5 years instead.
