Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intravenous (IV) perioperative dexamethasone regime in the clinical outcomes after a robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in a Hispanic population. The study aims to propose an alternative to opioid-based pain treatment following TKA. The study hopefully validates the use of a two-dose, 8mg intravenous dexamethasone regimen for improving pain and range of motion scores in patients undergoing primary, unilateral TKA for osteoarthritis. One dose will be applied prior to incision and the other at post-operative day (POD) 1.
