Filter by:This study will consist of patients 12 years and older undergoing ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps or bone-patella tendon bone (BTB) graft. The patients will be randomized to adductor canal block alone, or adductor canal block + iPACK block. The primary goal will be to determine the differences in postoperative pain during the first 72 hours when comparing the two groups. Secondary outcomes will include opioid utilization during the first 72 hours postoperatively and range of motion including terminal knee extension at postoperative follow-up visits.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Research Title An Android Application-Based Delivery of Guided Rehabilitation After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomised Single-Blinded Pilot Study Investigators Principle Investigator (Supervisor) : Prof Madya Dr Mohd Nizlan Mohd Nasir Co-investigator (Supervisor) : Dr Khairil Anwar bin Ahmad Hanif Dr Firdati binti Mohamed Saaid Co-Investigator (Student) : Dr Tan Eng Kee Background Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are a common and significant injury seen in active persons. This injury can adversely affect the patient's daily life, as well as delay or prevent return to sports, in addition to predisposing patients to long-tern knee conditions such as osteoarthritis. Despite surgical advances, ACL reconstruction surgery outcomes are still considered poor, with a low as 55% of patients returning to active sports. One of the key factors that lead to a poorer outcome is the patient's compliance to rehabilitation, causing less than satisfactory results in the post-operative period. With the conventional regime, rehabilitation typically takes one year. Patients tend to drop out of the rehabilitation regime due to its long duration. In order to combat this, the accelerated regime was developed and only took 6 months. This regime has been researched and validated by numerous international publications since its inception. However, compliance remained poor. Purpose of Study The study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a smartphone-based application to guide the patient's rehabilitation regime and improve compliance. Data Gathering and Analysis Data for outcome assessment will be obtained via a patient administered questionnaire called the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). This scoring system is available for free without licensing requirements, and has been validated by numerous research publications internationally. Analysis of obtained data will be performed using SPSS version 22. Continuous data will be displayed as mean + SD as well as median. Conclusion There is a need for a new method of information provision as the country moves towards the age of information technology. This smartphone-based application for guided rehabilitation will be an innovative new method to aid patients. Lastly, the researchers would like to thank the members of JKEUPM for their time, effort and kind consideration of this research proposal.
This study will utilize the Moxy wearable sensor to measure muscle oxygen saturation levels in athletes following lower extremity surgery (ACL or Hip arthroscopy) to evaluate their Return-to-Play. The acquired data will complement current protocols utilized by Dr. Voos and Dr. Salata in this regard and will add quantifiable evidence to enable a robust measurement of the surgical limb versus non-surgical limb.
This study will compare Anterior Cruciate Reconstruction with or without Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction in patients with ACL injury. The purpose of this study is evaluate if addition of ALLr to ACLr provides better clinical, radiological and laboratory outcomes.
Study population The investigator set the sample size to 200 patients. Primary outcome - Diagnostic accuracy of ultrahigh field MRI (T7) compared to high field MRI (T3 or less) for detection of meniscal injuries associated with acute ACL injury Secondary outcome - Influence of 1) Location of injury and 2) meniscal tear pattern (modified WORMS18,19) on the sensitivity of high field MRI compared to ultrahigh field MRI for detection of meniscal tears
Comparison between ACL repair and ACL augmentation in symptomatic patients with partial ACL injury
Atrophy and weakness are ubiquitous after a ACL rupture and associated with a worsened long-term recovery of individual capacities, despite surgery and rehabilitation. Preoperative rehabilitation (prehab) is believed to prepare patients for surgery and post-operative rehabilitation. However, prehab programs are highly variable, and do not always aim to develop/maintain neuromuscular parameters. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a lower limb strengthening training program during prehab prior to ACL Surgery on lower limb structure and function.
Patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury often suffer knee instability, which can be visualized as a wobbling knee during weight bearing exercises, such as the single leg squat. We propose to use the single-leg-squat-and-hold (SLSH) task with kinematic analysis to objectively evaluate dynamic knee stability in ACL injured patients. The aim of this study is (1) to compare knee kinematic variations capturing knee wobbling during SLSH between ACL subjects and healthy controls; and (2) to detect the changes in knee kinematic variations during SLSH following ACL reconstruction.
The purpose of this research is to find out whether the way information about surgery is presented to patients affects patient satisfaction, knowledge retention, and surgical outcomes such as anxiety
The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of accelerated rehabilitation post ACL reconstruction with and without augmentation on graft healing and return to normal activity clinically by scoring system and radiologically.
