About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Robotic Assisted, functionally aligned vs Custom Made Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Which implant/philosophy yields better clinical outcomes? * Which implant/philosophy yields better satisfaction? * Which system is more OR efficient? Participants will be followed for 2 years postoperatively.
