Filter by:Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure used to restore painless joint function and increase patients' activities of daily living in patients with progressive knee osteoarthrosis. Kinesiophobia can be seen in patients suffering from pain. It is stated that the incidence of kinesiophobia in TKA patients is 24.4%. Based on this information, this study was planned.
This research aims to develop an optimal physiotherapy intervention for people with arthrofibrosis (stiffness due to scar tissue) after total knee replacement (TKR). We will develop an optimal intervention by conducting: 1. A review of the evidence to identify what components could be included in the intervention, how effective they are and what outcomes have been measured by the research. 2. Interviews with patients with arthrofibrosis to understand the impact it has on their life and what outcomes are important to them and interviews with healthcare professionals (HCPs) to understand their experiences of treating patients with arthrofibrosis. 3. A Delphi study with a larger group of HCPs and patients to reach a consensus on what the optimal intervention should include. This involves a series of anonymous voting on a range of items that have been generated by the group and the results of the evidence review. 4. A workshop with patients, HCPs and health-care commissioners to finalise the intervention. During the workshop we will present our findings and work in small groups to agree the intervention
Postural balance can be described as the integration of the information obtained from visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems. Postural stability is achieved by sensory information about the static or dynamic position of the body resulting in an appropriate motor response. Poor postural stability in individuals with knee osteoarthritis often results in an increased risk of falling and decrease in mobility. It has been reported that 40% of knee osteoarthritis patients fall at least once in a year. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical treatment approach applied to individuals with advanced knee osteoarthritis. It has been shown that this method provides an improvement in the postural stability levels of individuals compared to the preoperative period and a decrease in number of falls reported by the patient. Even if this improvement is achieved, postural stability losses can still be observed in individuals undergoing TKA which affect balance performance. Obesity is defined by an excessive increase in the ratio of body fat mass relative to lean mass. Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 are defined as obese. Changes in body composition and increased adiposity rate lead to significant locomotor system problems. A decrease in postural control, increased risk of falling or fear of falling can be defined as locomotor system problems. It has been reported that there is a relationship between increased fat ratio and loss of postural stability in adult obese individuals. In a published study, it was reported that as of 2029, 46% of the population in America will be obese or morbidly obese, and 69% of individuals who have undergone total knee arthroplasty surgery will be obese or morbidly obese. Obesity causes several complications such as increased mortality and increase in likelihood of revision surgery that can be seen after total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, it is clinically important to determine the functional status and balance status in order to reduce the possible long-term complications that may develop in the post-operative period and the risk of falling, especially in obese individuals. The effects of increasing obesity level on postural stability in individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty are unknown. In this context, the aim of our study is to compare the postural stability levels of normal, overweight and obese individuals who underwent total knee arthroplasty.
This research aim to improve postoperative outcome in total hip arthroplasty(THA) by using local mixture infiltration as bupivacaine + NSAID + epinephrine + tranxemic acid. In the present time these mixture components has shown to improve THA outcome by aspect of postoperative pain control, postoperative opioid consumption, postoperative bleeding, LOS and postoperative rehabilitation without increasing complication but the accuracy of infiltration technique which gives the best outcome has not been yet discovered.Recently study by Hashimoto et al has risen that these technique can be administrated by both periarticular and intra-articular approach.By considering the complexity of human anatomy around the hip tissue we assume that the intra-articular(transarticular) may given equivalence (may be better) outcome with lowering procedural related complication comparing to periarticular infiltration approach.
The functional evaluation of the shoulder, which is the most mobile joint in the human body, is a complex clinical examination to perform. The mobility of the shoulder is based on a three-dimensional mobility cone, which is difficult to represent and measure. However, an accurate and reliable measurement of the shoulder's articular amplitude is fundamental for its functional evaluation. Indeed, these measurements contribute to determine the global management strategy of the patient and the follow-up of its evolution. The conventional method of measuring shoulder joint amplitudes involves the use of a goniometer. Nevertheless, visual estimation is the most used in consultation but is limited by its very examiner-dependent character. Technological advances have allowed the development and deployment of additional tools in the clinical setting, with the goal of simplifying, reducing measurement bias, and standardizing joint range of motion (ROM) measurement techniques. Our team has recently published a study to validate the use of a joint ROM measurement system, coupling a RGB-D (Red Green Blue - Depth) sensor and an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, on volunteer subjects with no shoulder history. The RGB-D camera is a technological tool in high development and low cost. It consists of two sensors, an infrared projector and an RGB module. The camera simultaneously provides a two-dimensional (2D) image and its environment by creating a color flow using infrared technology combined with a depth map characterizing the distance of objects seen in the image. The AI algorithm then automatically detects a 2D skeleton that identifies the main joints of the upper limb (shoulder, elbow, wrist) and the trunk axis. Then, the angle of interest is measured and each mobility is automatically measured in 3D by the algorithm. The main objective of the study is to validate and demonstrate the feasibility in clinical practice and the concordance of an automated RGB-D + AI system for the measurement of shoulder joint ROMs of patients having undergone reverse total shoulder replacement surgery. These measurements will be compared with the visual method and the goniometer, that are measurements made in normal care routine. The ROM measures obtained by means of the RGB-D + AI system will be compared to those obtained in clinical practice during the annual follow-up visit in normal care routine. The main evaluation criterion is the measurement of joint amplitude measured in degrees [°]. The ROMs that will be measured are those normally assessed in clinical practice: abduction-adduction, flexion-extension and external-internal rotation elbow to body or at 90°. This study aims also at observing and comparing the postoperative joint ROM measurements estimated in the preoperative planning phase by the Blue-Print software with the actual postoperative ROM measured with the RGB-D + AI system. The study is observational. The processing of the collected data does not foresee any intervention on the patient or modification of the surgeon's choice concerning the management of the patient. It is indeed a RNIPH (Recherche non impliquant la personne humaine).
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is empirically associated with the use of lateral approach but has been reported in litterature even with the use of posterior approach. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the risk of residual limping one year after total hip arthropasty between lateral and posterior approach.
The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Anaverse™ Glenoid System and its instrumentation by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.
Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used in total knee arthroplasty focus more on quality of life and pain. For this reason, individuals who can perform activities of daily living normally can get full points. There is a need for PROMs used in the assessment of higher functional skills. This study aimed to translate The High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version.
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is a serious complication that lacks effective treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgical treatment for residual limping and compare its results with non-surgical treatment. Our hypothesis is that surgical treatment followed by physiotherapy increases hip function and reduces limping compared with non-surgical treatment with physiotherapy alone.
After total hip arthroplasty using an 'Modular Dual Mobility' acetabular cup, which is effective in reducing the risk of dislocation, one of the serious complications occurring after total hip arthroplasty, the blood metal ion concentration was compared with that of conventional total hip arthroplasty patients. This is a multicenter prospective randomized comparative study.
