Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
This trial is testing whether a personalized knee replacement surgery approach works better than the traditional standard approach. Researchers want to know if customizing how the artificial knee is positioned to match your individual anatomy leads to better pain relief, movement, and satisfaction compared to the one-size-fits-all method used for decades.
Even though knee replacement surgery is very successful overall, about 1 in 5 patients still aren't happy with their results because of ongoing pain, stiffness, or that the knee doesn't feel natural. This trial exists to find out whether tailoring the surgery to each person's unique knee shape and structure might improve these outcomes.

You would be randomly assigned to receive knee replacement surgery using either the traditional alignment method or a personalized alignment approach. Your surgeon would use advanced robotic assistance to precisely position your new knee. After surgery, you would attend follow-up visits where doctors assess your pain, knee movement, how well you walk, and overall satisfaction with your new knee over time.
