Osteoarthrosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Preoperative Intravenous High Dose Methylprednisolone on Quadriceps Muscle Function in Patients Scheduled for Total Knee-arthroplasty
This study evaluates the pathophysiological effects of a single dose Methylprednisolone
administered prior to total knee-arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators examine the effect on
thigh muscle function to evaluate the efficacy of Methylprednisolone on knee-extension
strength at discharge after TKA.
Half of participants will receive intravenous Solu-Medrol 125 mg, while the other half will
receive placebo.
The investigators hypothesize that the group receiving Methylprednisolone will experience
smaller loss of knee-extension strength compared to the placebo-group, early after TKA.
The anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids are well known. The beneficial effects in
postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting are well-documented.
Knee-arthroplasty surgery and the inflammatory stress response in general affect the
potential of recovery. The quadriceps muscle strength is shown to be reduced significantly
(80%) early after surgery. The mechanism is thought related to inhibitory reflexes and pain
caused by surgical induced inflammation around the knee joint. The effect of glucocorticoids
on the quadriceps muscle function after knee-arthroplasty surgery is unknown and calls for
further investigation.
The study is to be considered as explorative.
The primary analysis of the primary outcome measure is a comparison of the changes in knee
extension strength from baseline to 48 hours postoperatively between the two groups.
For calculation of sample size the average loss of strength from baseline (before surgery)
to 48 hours after TKA-surgery being 0.8 Nm/kg body weight (SD=0.39, Holm et al. 2010), a
risk of type I errors 5% and a risk of type II errors 20% (80% power) were used. The sample
size is estimated to reveal a group difference in knee extension strength of minimum 40%.
The primary analysis is carried out on all included patients (intention-to-treat) with
baseline values as covariate. Secondary exploratory per-protocol analysis might be
performed. Missing outcomes will be analysed using multiple imputation due to expected
strong time trends.
The secondary outcome measures; a group difference of 6 sec. (Timed Up & Go) and 2 cm (knee
circumference) are considered clinically relevant. The statistical power is based on the
calculation outlined above using the same test prerequisites.
