Filter by:Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used in total knee arthroplasty focus more on quality of life and pain. For this reason, individuals who can perform activities of daily living normally can get full points. There is a need for PROMs used in the assessment of higher functional skills. This study aimed to translate The High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version.
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is a serious complication that lacks effective treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgical treatment for residual limping and compare its results with non-surgical treatment. Our hypothesis is that surgical treatment followed by physiotherapy increases hip function and reduces limping compared with non-surgical treatment with physiotherapy alone.
A bacterial infection of an artificial joint is a serious complication that often requires additional surgery to exchange the arthroplasty. It is also difficult to recognize an infected joint, as the symptoms caused by the infection are very similar to those of other problems with arthroplasties, such as loosening of the implant. To improve the ability to diagnose prosthetic joint infections, this study compares the levels of calprotectin, a specific inflammatory protein, in the joint fluid of infected joints and joints with other complications. The underlying hypothesis is that the level of calprotectin in infected joints is significantly higher, thus facilitating the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection.
To examine whether removing the infrapatellar fat pad from the knee during total knee arthroplasty affects the patient outcome in terms of pain and knee function following the procedure. Currently there is no consensus on whether removing this tissue from the knee has a positive or detrimental effect. Small studies have been published, some showing improved symptoms and some worse symptoms. Current practice of orthopaedic surgeons is either to routinely remove or routinely retain the tissue when performing total knee arthroplasty.
The cemented femoral stem have impact on increase on systemic parameters. Evaluation of the level of histamine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocytes formula, IL1b, TNF alpha, IL6 and the reflection of changes of these parameters in the intra-operative course of hip replacement.
The study will evaluate the performance, clinical benefits and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have received primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) treatment. This will be done using a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series, retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up.
Arthroplasty increases the risk of postoperative urinary retention. Treatment of postoperative urinary retention is indwelling or intermittent catheterization. The need for catheterization is most commonly determined with an ultrasound scanner. Catheterization increases the risk of urinary tract infection, which may further lead to haematogenic infection of the artificial joint. There is no evidence of an optimal way to monitor the onset of spontaneous urination. The aim of the study is to determine whether monitoring the onset of spontaneous urination after fast track knee arthroplasty is safe based on symptoms alone without ultrasound monitoring.
Negative pressure dressings are currently widely used in wound management. Their use is gradually being extended to surgical scars. However, studies demonstrating a clear benefit are rare, particularly in terms of postoperative discharge, the need for surgical revision due to prolonged oozing and cost. The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit of such a device in post-operative revision prosthesis surgery (hip and knee), as well as lower limb amputations.
The use of bilateral total knee replacements (TKR) is increasing with the number of patients with bilateral end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Bilateral TKR can be performed in three different ways: single-stage, two-team simultaneous bilateral TKR (two surgeons bilateral TKR); single-stage, a sequential bilateral TKR (single surgeon bilateral TKR); and two-stage bilateral TKR. Periprosthetic joint (PJI) infections are serious complications after TKR that negatively affect the aimed outcome, decrease patient satisfaction, and increase morbidity and mortality. The incidence of PJI is 1-2% and the number of cases is projected to grow as the indications for TKR continue to increase. Investigators will prospectively compare the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection between groups.
