In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a knee implant surgery, is a treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. In some cases, patients suffer an associated periprosthetic fracture, a broken bone that occurs around the implant of a TKA, they may not receive excellent care due to a lack of a trustworthy assessments for fracture healing in the research world. The prevalence of TKA surgeries is increasing annually and is expected to increase further due to an ageing population and obesity issue. By extension to this primary surgery, more Canadians will require an invasive revision surgery that risks patient morbidity and mortality. Thus, it is important to set a standard for fracture stabilization and bone healing assessments to lessen revision burdens and improve patient outcomes. CT imaging is the main clinical tool to evaluate implant stabilization in TKA, which can effectively visualize areas
