Filter by:Rationale for conducting the study: The study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical and economic impacts of Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement (RTKR) compared to conventional Total Knee Replacement (TKR). It focuses on the potential benefits of RTKR, including improved precision in surgery, potentially leading to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Our primary endpoint is the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), aimed at measuring patients awareness of their knee joint in everyday life, indicating the success of the knee replacement surgery in restoring natural joint function. Secondary endpoints include patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), patient activity levels, the accuracy of implant positioning on x-ray, and the incidence of adverse events. Study design: Multicentre,, preference-tolerant, randomized, controlled, superiority trial with two treatment arms that compares the outcomes of RTKR with traditional TKR techniques. Study population: Adult patients aged 18 years and older who are eligible for TKR as per local guidelines and who have given informed consent to participate in the study. Number of patients: 400 Inclusion criteria: Patients must be adults aged 18 years and older, eligible for TKR according to local guidelines, and willing to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria: Patients with extreme malalignment requiring special implants or techniques, patients unfit for surgery due to medical reasons, and those deemed unsuitable to participate in the study for other reasons. Primary outcome variables: The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) at 2 years after surgery
This study was to compare the study drug KN060 to enoxaparin, for the prevention of blood clotting and safety in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare patient-reported and performance-based outcomes of patients followed with a standard exercise program based on telerehabilitation and patients followed with action observation therapy program added to a standard exercise program based on telerehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - [What is the effect of action observation therapy added to a telerehabilitation-based standard exercise program on patient-reported outcomes after total knee arthroplasty surgery?] - [What is the effect of action observation therapy added to a telerehabilitation-based standardized exercise program on performance-based outcomes after total knee arthroplasty surgery?] Participants will be divided into three groups by computer-assisted randomization method: Group 1: home exercise with information leaflet group, Group 2: information leaflet + telerehabilitation-based standard exercise program group, Group 3: information leaflet + telerehabilitation-based standard exercise program + action observation therapy group. Patients in the second and third groups will be followed up with the telerehabilitation method accompanied by a physiotherapist for 30 minutes 3 days a week for 6 weeks after discharge. The third group will receive a standard exercise program 3 days a week and 15 minutes of action observation therapy via video conferencing.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Losartan use post-operatively for reducing or preventing the development of arthrofibrosis and the associated adverse impacts on clinical outcomes.
All artificial joint implants need to be solidly held (fixed) within the bone. Cementless fixation has become a popular method to achieve fixation for total knee replacements where the bone grows directly onto the implanted device instead of using bone cement. The primary purpose of this study is to assess long-term implant survivorship and clinical outcomes of a previous study cohort that received a cementless knee replacement. As this study cohort approaches 5 years post-operation, the investigators will re-examine the stability of participant implants using specialized x-rays, called "radiostereometric analysis". The study will use weight-bearing computed tomography (CT) to measure bone density and texture features and correlate that with implant stability. The investigators will collect stool samples to assess participant gut microbiomes for biomarkers of poor bone quality that could correlate to implant stability. All 33 participants from the original study cohort will be invited to participate in this study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both clinical measures and PROMs in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using restricted inverse kinematic alignment (iKA) compared to mechanical alignment (MA), both using surgical navigation assistance.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequent performed surgery. Many institutions are implementing outpatient programs for this surgery and adequate pain management is an important feature. Analgesic duration of single shot nerve blocks is limited to no more than 24h. Conversely, the use of continuous nerve block (CNB) through a perineural catheter and infusion of local anesthetic may increase duration of analgesia and provide better outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of using CNB in patients undergoing ambulatory TKA, and its effects on patients' quality of recovery. We hypothesize that continuous adductor canal block would lead to a better quality of recovery in patients undergoing outpatient TKA.
This will be a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients who have undergone primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and University of Chicago Medical Center. Study subjects will receive either a shared decision aid (SDA) about pain management or standard of care at the time of discharge. The impact of the SDA on the number of leftover opioid pills on postoperative day 30 and average NRS pain score on postoperative day 7 will be assessed.
