Filter by:Clinicians commonly utilize intraarticular injections to treat symptomatic primary arthritis. Steroid injections are common yet have immune-modulating effects and can alter gene expression which may delay definitive arthroplasty and further damage cartilage. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) injections may offer a safer profile due to their differing mechanism of action; however, there is a relative dearth of information regarding their efficacy. This non-inferiority study compares the effectiveness of triamcinolone versus ketorolac in treating symptoms of moderate to advanced primary osteoarthritis of the hip and knee.
This study aims to determine if oral dexamethasone provides clinically significant improvement in postoperative outcomes, specifically nausea and pain scores.
The research team wants to investigate if an intraosseous injection (directly into the bone marrow) of morphine during primary total knee replacement helps with post-operative pain following primary total knee replacement surgery. For this study patients will either be randomized into one of two groups: Group 1: Receives an intraosseous injection of morphine (mixed with standard antibiotics) during their primary total knee replacement or Group 2: Serves as the control group and only receives an intraosseous injection of antibioitics during their total knee replacement. The research team will have patients fill out a symptom journal for two weeks following their surgery to measure pain levels and pain medication consumed throughout the day as well as nausea and other symptoms. Additionally, the research team will take blood samples both intraoperatively and post-operatively (10 hours post-op) to measure the level of inflammatory markers as well as morphine.
This is a small, pilot, pre/post evaluation study enrolling older Hispanic American adults with moderate knee arthritis to evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence after a multimodal 12-week, physical therapy intervention. The secondary aim is to evaluate preliminary estimates of change on physical performance and health related quality of life after the intervention.
The study is set up due to regulatory purposes and to collect routine clinical data of the mobile-bearing implant univation XM. The study is designed as a prospective follow-up study with a historic patient cohort who have been treated with the product under investigation two years ago. This design is selected to quicker realize follow-up data as patients have already been treated in the past. As the mobile version of the implant is not widely used, the study will be set up as a monocentric study in France. The clinical hypothesis of the study is that patients who are treated with the product under investigation have a similar outcome and survival rate in comparison to other established unicondylar knee systems on the market. Comparison for the later evaluation will be taken out of recent orthopaedic registries.
Mobilization and rehabilitation are essential components of a successful functional recovery following total hip and knee arthroplasties. Currently, we have no good measure of how mobile patients are after their surgery. Recent technological advances in personal activity monitors, such as the Fitbit, might provide medical providers and patients the opportunity to more objectively monitor their postoperative mobility and recovery course. However, these consumer activity monitors have yet to be validated in terms of their accuracy and utility for monitoring mobility in the immediate postoperative setting in arthroplasty patients. Our goal is to validate one of the most popular consumer activity monitors, the Fitbit Zip, in the postoperative total joint arthroplasty patient population.
To Detect the Prevalence Of Coronal Femoral Bowing in Egyptian arthritic knee. The restoration of normal coronal alignment of the lower extremity is very important to surgeons who perform reconstructive surgery of the knee, such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The importance of achieving normal coronal alignment of the lower extremity after TKA is widely recognized . TKAs with coronal malalignment tend to fail earlier than those with neutral alignment. 8 Coronal alignment is considered key to the function and longevity of a TKA. However, most studies do not consider femoral and tibial anatomical features such as coronal femoral bowing and the effects of these features and subsequent alignment on function after TKA are unclear investigators therefore determined the prevalence of coronal femoral bowing, femoral condylar orientation (mLDFA ) , and tibia plateau inclination (mMPTA ) in osteoarthritic Egyptian population
47 patients with non-septic knee arthritis were treated by local ice (30 min) or cold CO2 (2 min) twice at an 8 hour-interval for 1 day. The synovial fluid was collected just before the first cold application then 24 hours later. Cytokine, VEGF, NF-kB, PG-E2 levels were assessed in the synovial fluid before/after treatment. Contralateral arthritic knees were used as paired controls when possible.
This is a prospective, randomized control trial to evaluate the impacts of preoperative cryoneurolysis treatment on opioid consumption with prehabilitation and resulting postoperative functional improvement in patients undergoing elective primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
This study aims to predict risk factors of acute postoperative pain of the patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty(TKRA).
