The goal of this interventional study is to examine whether a pain management technique of combined femoral and popliteal nerve block is effective in total knee arthroplasty patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are there differences in postoperative outcomes? Does the nerve block, age, preoperative quadriceps muscle strength and Oxford Knee Score of the patient predict early functional ability? Participants underwent total knee arthroplasty and assessments. Researchers compared pain management techniques to assess effects on postoperative outcomes and identified the importance of preoperative variables a predictors of early functional ability. Further research is required to refine postoperative pain management strategies.
The aim of this research is to assess the effects of the Otago Exercise Program on Rehabilitation outcomes of balance strength and functional outcomes of post Total Knee Replacement patients. A randomized controlled trial that will include a total of 44 participants divided into two groups control and experimental. The experimental group will receive the Otago Exercise Program for four weeks, three times per week for forty to forty-five minutes. The control group will receive general TKR protocol for four weeks, three times per week for 30 minutes. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
The goal of this pilot study is to develop a randomized control trial study with sufficient power to definitely address if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls, and if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can train resilience. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is this preoperative mindfulness meditation study feasible at Hospital for Special Surgery? 2. Can we estimate a control and intervention group central tendency and variability to be used to determine sample size in future study? 3. Does a preoperative mindfulness meditation interventions improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls? Can preoperative a mindfulness meditation intervention train resilience (as measured by increased resilience score)? Participants will be randomly assigned to be in the intervention group or the waitlist control group. The intervention group gets the mindfulness mediation intervention prior to their day of surgery, and the control group will be given the mindfulness meditation intervention 90 days after their day of surgery. The waitlist control group allows for comparison between those who got the mindfulness meditation intervention prior to surgery and those who did not while still offering the potential benefits of the intervention after 90 days.
This study will be a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of using Headspace before and after undergoing total knee replacement surgery. The purpose of this study will be to determine whether using Headspace will help to improve functional outcome scores, decrease pain, and decrease opioid medication use after total knee replacement in patients with depression and/or anxiety. Headspace is a smartphone-based application that guides individuals through various mindfulness sessions and has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain.
A prospective multicenter longitudinal cohort study of Zimmer Biomet (ZB) Persona IQ The Smart Knee which consists of the Persona Personalized Knee (PPK) System with mymobility® platform that is attempting to develop correlative measures to assist surgeons in understanding and managing risk in their patient populations. Specifically comparing four outcome measures captured via Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) utilizing the CANARY canturioTM Tibial Extension (CTE) sensors in combination with the mymobility® App. The primary objective of this prospective study is to systematically document the clinical outcomes of the Persona IQ Personalized Knee System with mymobility for primary total knee arthroplasty/replacement (TKA/TKR). This will be accomplished by monitoring subject activity trend patterns via the mymobility platform, evaluating smart system usability, monitoring short and long-term safety and effectiveness, and evaluating the value of the remote therapeutic monitoring platform. This data collection will be accomplished by the following: 1. The Canary Smart Tibial Stem comprised of the following subsystems: 1. Canary Cloud Data Management Platform (CDMP) 2. Canary Medical Gait Parameters (CMGP) Software Module 2. Persona IQ Personalized Knee System with mymobility Platform comprised of the following subsystems: 1. mymobility Platform for Patient Application 2. mymobility Care Team Dashboard 3. ZB Edge Artificial Intelligence Data Platform 3. Clinical Outcomes 1. Joint Motion: ROM and Deductions 2. Joint Stability: Medial/Lateral and Anterior/Posterior 3. Gait and Assistive Device Utilization 4. Surgical Incision Site 4. Objective Measurements: a. Timed Up & Go (TUG) and Stair Climb Test 5. System Usability Evaluation 6. Patient Satisfaction 7. Health Care Provider Satisfaction Additionally, a data repository will be maintained for future secondary data analyses when data is transmitted and captured beyond the 1-year of follow-up.
As an intraoperative tool, a modern robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system should be able to identify a patient's native femoral and tibial anatomy, as well as, assess ligament tension and gap balance. The surgeon in real time is then able to develop and execute a patient specific plan in terms of component size, alignment and rotation. In our institution we have begun to use, the OMNIBotics Knee system (Corin), which utilizes an active motorized knee spacer, BalanceBot, to objectively measure ligament tension and gap balance after the tibia has been cut and its alignment confirmed. This information is then processed through the OMNIbotics computer algorithm to appropriately size, align, and rotate the femur component to balance the flexion and extension gaps. The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized pilot study looking for an effect on early functional outcomes comparing robotic assisted TKA (RATKA) versus conventional TKA technique.
The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of aromatherapy on postoperative anxiety and pain in total knee replacement patients. The main questions to answer are: Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce post operative anxiety in patients after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce post operative pain in patient after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce postoperative opioid consumption after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Participants will be assigned to one of the following groups at random: - Intervention: Aromatherapy with the lavender-peppermint scent - Control: Aromatherapy with the almond oil scent Participants will also be asked to complete pre- and post-operative questionnaires. Researchers will compare both groups (intervention vs control) to see if aromatherapy reduces post-operative anxiety, pain, opioid intake, and nausea/vomiting.
Wound complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can arise from many patient-specific factors, such as vascular or immune-related medical conditions, obesity, and smoking, among others. The development of early wound complications can lead to increased length of hospital stay and more serious complications, including deep infection and major subsequent surgery. However, there are modifiable variables that could affect the risk of getting wound complications, such as the closure technique. This study aims to analyze the difference in rates of wound complications using two different closure techniques in primary TKA.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine if there is a relationship between the addition of the genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in providing analgesia and the use of oral and intravenous medication in patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' total opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery? 2. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' worst numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)? 3. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care result in earlier discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)? 4. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' total opioid consumption in the first 7 days after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery? 5. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' numerical rating scale (NRS) pain (both at rest and during movement) in the first 24 and 48 hours after surgery? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in addition to standard of care (intervention group), or not receive the nerve blocks (control group). Comparing the intervention group to the control group, the researcher's primary outcomes are numerical pain in the post-anesthesia care unit and cumulative opioid consumption during the first 24 hours.
