View clinical trials related to Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Filter by:This prospective, randomized trial asked whether subcutaneous indwelling of vacuum drainage has advantages over intraarticular indwelling in terms of blood loss, bleeding related complications, and functional outcomes in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators hypothesized that the subcutaneous indwelling method would reduce blood loss with comparable bleeding-related complications and functional outcomes. The subcutaneous indwelling group demonstrated reduced blood loss with comparable prevalence of bleeding-related complications and functional outcomes. In conclusion, the investigators' study verified the efficacy and absence of risks of subcutaneous indwelling method. So the investigators propose that the subcutaneous indwelling drainage can be a good option to address the problems related to postoperative bleeding after TKA.
The purpose of this trial is to study potential differences between two prostheses, including: "feel of prosthesis" (i.e., how natural does the prosthesis feel), range of motion (ROM), pain perception for each prosthesis, satisfaction, patella tracking and quantification of the removed bone anterior on the femur (weight).
Principal hypothesis: A low suction drainage (-50 mmHg) reduce a 25% the blood loss with respect a standard closed drainage (-700 mmHg) following total knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study was to compare the early clinical outcomes of minimally invasive bilateral subvastus and midvastus approaches for total knee arthroplasty.
To investigate immediate and short term effects on angle of knee flexion, intensity of pain, strength of the knee extensor, and function of the lower extremity by using PNF stretching technique in patients with total knee arthroplasty. hypothesis:TKA patients may increase ROM after PNF stretching
The purpose of this study is to test for significant differences in functional outcomes obtained by using a NexGen LPS versus a NexGen LPS-Flex knee implant. Specifically, it is predicted that an increase in postoperative range of motion will be experienced by patients treated with the NexGen LPS-Flex knee implant.
Main Objectives are: Test Difference in terms of early ROM between Vanguard FB CR and Vanguard FB PS. Knees; Demonstrate the comparable ROM of high flex PS to CR.
The purpose of this study is to test for significant differences in functional outcomes, specifically pre-operative ROM and post-operative ROM obtained by using a NexGen CR versus a NexGen CR-Flex knee implant. Specifically, it is predicted that an increase in post-operative range of motion will be experienced by patients treated with the NexGen CR-Flex knee implant.
This study is designed to compare femoral perineural catheter insertion distances, in order to help determine which is the best for pain relief after knee surgery. Hypothesis: the quality of the femoral nerve block will not be inferior if the catheter is inserted deeper (7cm compared to 3 cm)
The main purpose of this study is to determine if there is improvement in pain and other patient outcomes when using a continuous wound analgesia system after total knee replacement, compared to usual methods of pain control. Another purpose is to determine if the system makes it easier for nurses to care for these patients.
