Filter by:The aim of this exploratory study is to further investigate the potential of acoustic emission biomarkers, assessed by the inmodi knee brace, to diagnose osteoarthritis (OA) at earlier stages. Therefore, 20 healthy participants and 100 patients with increased risk of knee OA will be recruited from the Schulthess Klinik in Zurich and examined twice with 9 ± 3 months' time interval. Anthropometric data, EOS radiographs and MR images of both knees, PROMs and acoustic emission data will be collected and evaluated. Artificial Intelligence algorithm will then be used to identify and validate the most promising acoustic emission biomarkers with a prognosis value in the prediction of knee osteoarthritis progress.
The MegaCarti® is the decellularized allogeneic cartilage and acts as a cover after bone marrow stimulation to prevent the loss of blood clots and induces cartilage regeneration by assisting in the location of stem cells derived from bone marrow. During the 48-week confirmatory clinical trial of MegaCarti®, patients who simultaneously underwent high tibial osteotomy(HTO) were treated with a group in which MegaCarti® was implanted after microfracture and a group in which microfracture alone was performed. Cartilage regeneration is evaluated in patients with arthroscopy data at the time of fixation removal surgery.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. The main advantages of TKA are to relieve the pain of the knee, improve the knee function, restore lower limb alignment, and improve the quality of life for patients. During TKA, some surgeons prefer using a scalpel while others using electrocautery to expose the articular cavity. Whether the use of scalpel can lead to better and faster recovery after the primary TKA is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of using the scalpel and the electrocautery in primary TKA
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the Efficacy of Using skin adhesive (Dermabond) and skin adhesive with polyester mesh (Dermabond Prineo )for Wound Closure in Total Knee Arthroplasty, The main question it aim to answer 1 Are skin adhesive alone and with Polyester mesh in Total knee arthroplasty different in Patient satisfaction evaluated by POSAS score
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common, chronic joint pathology that causes participants to suffer from pain, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. The goal is to improve the quality of life and rehabilitation of patients by making rehabilitation exercises electronic and the system can be personalized to their specific conditions. The focus of this study was on exercise interventions, and an interactive software was designed that combines repetitive motion and real-time feedback mechanisms. The software provides a series of rehabilitation movements that are specific to the characteristics of osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults, aiming to help participants gradually improve joint range of motion and muscle strength through exercise. The real-time feedback mechanism, on the other hand, monitors the participants' exercise status in real time through wearable devices, providing intuitive feedback to the participants to ensure that they perform the rehabilitation movements correctly, thus ensuring the scientificity and safety of the exercise. In this study, investigators designed an exercise assessment and exercise intervention system for patients with knee osteoarthritis. In the exercise assessment part, the study combines several tools. First, the WOMAC scale was used to systematically assess patients' joint pain, stiffness, and dyskinesia. Second, physical function tests are used to assess the patient's overall exercise capacity, including indicators such as the number of sit-ups and rises. In addition, a wearable device was designed in this paper for real-time collection of knee angle information.
Knee osteoarthritis is an extremely common and debilitating condition, more common in women, with an estimated global prevalence of 16%, and as high as 50% by the age of 80. Current management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) revolves around conservative treatments- biomechanical interventions, intra-articular injections, exercise, self-management and education, oral or topical medications, strength training, and weight management - or surgical management. For injection therapies, corticosteroids remain the standard of care; approximately 84% of sports medicine physicians perform these knee injections at least monthly, reporting a median range of 11-20 injections per month. Multiple detrimental effects of corticosteroid injections are well-known, including alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, blood glucose levels, bone turnover, inflammatory response, blood pressure, and psychologic well-being. Thus, alternative therapies are of the utmost importance. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an injectable preparation of a patient's blood that can be used for numerous conditions and has received significant attention over the past several years for its potential application for the treatment of pain and functional impairment due to knee OA. Systematic reviews of randomized-controlled trials have demonstrated equivalent-to-superior treatment outcomes associated with the use of intra-articular PRP compared to placebo, hyaluronic acid, and corticosteroid. Furthermore, use of intra-articular PRP is associated with a very low rate of adverse events and is likely safer than injectable corticosteroids. Concerns that have limited a wider use of PRP include two main concerns - an uncertainty regarding the current evidence base due to study-related bias, heterogeneity, and lack of reporting standards; and second, more importantly, the main issue remains high cost.
The ability to perform a cognitive task while walking simultaneously is essential in real daily life. However, the psychometric properties of dual-task walking tests have not been well established in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of study assess the test-retest reliability and validity of dual conditions TUG, 3MBWT, 8FWT nad 4SST in patients with TKA.
A randomised controlled feasibility study of a health coaching intervention targeting people on the waitlist for hip or knee replacement surgery with low patient activation.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy of the rehabilitation process of the Interspace between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Posterior Knee (iPACK) block in total knee arthroplasty.
In this prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Dextrose Prolotherapy injections in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.
