Summary

This trial aims to test a 3D-printed device during knee surgery to see how helpful it is. They will be testing it on 50 patients and the surgeons will use the device during surgery

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who are scheduled to undergo a primary total knee replacement. The study will include those who meet specific health criteria suitable for the surgery.
What is being tested?
Surgeons will use a new tool, a 3D-printed mechanical balancer, during knee replacement surgeries. This device is tested alongside standard balancing techniques but won't influence decisions during surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the mechanical balancer is used as an aid during surgery and not implanted, it does not have direct side effects like medications do. However, typical surgical risks still apply.
