This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a newer knee replacement design called the Journey II performs better than two standard knee replacements currently used. All three are artificial knee joints designed to reduce pain and improve how well your knee works. The study will measure how your knee moves, the forces it experiences, and how well you can walk after surgery.
Most knee replacements today don't move the way a natural knee does. The Journey II has a special design that may better mimic how a healthy knee functions, but doctors haven't yet proven whether this actually gives patients better results in pain relief and movement.
You will receive one of the three knee replacements during surgery, randomly assigned by the research team. After surgery, you will attend follow-up visits where doctors will measure your knee movement and strength, assess your pain and walking ability, and have you walk on a special computerized platform that analyzes how your knee and leg work. You will be followed for one year after surgery, with visits at regular intervals to track your recovery and how well the knee replacement is functioning.
