This study is comparing two different surgical approaches for total knee replacement (Total Knee Arthroplasty): the Medial Parapatellar Approach and the Subvastus Approach. Both approaches involve surgery to replace your knee joint. Researchers want to see which approach leads to a better and faster recovery. They will use a special smart implant called Zimmer Persona IQ to track your activity, like how many steps you take each day, after surgery. To join, you must be over 18, planning to have a primary total knee replacement, be eligible for both surgical approaches, and have an iPhone you're willing to use for two weeks before surgery to track your steps. The main goal is to see if there's a difference in daily step count between the two groups. The study's current status is unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized study comparing two surgical approaches for total knee replacement, with 110 planned participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical groups.

What's involved

You would need to use your iPhone to track your steps for two weeks before surgery. After surgery, the smart implant will continuously track your recovery, and you will have follow-up appointments.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed through study completion, with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up after surgery.
