Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine 1) if pregabalin, when given 37.5 mg twice on the day before surgery, would be effective in reducing the early postoperative side effects including dizziness, nausea, vomiting and sedation of receiving pregabalin 75mg two hours pre-operatively and 75mg per day until the third postoperative day; and 2) whether this intervention affected the opioids consumption, and independent transfers at six hours post-op, time to readiness for independent transfers, time to readiness for discharge and pain or not.
Following a prosthetic knee joint infection, two types of operative approach can be undertaken to treat the infection: a one-stage or two-stage revision operation. Both approaches are widely used and are good at treating infection but we don't know which has the best long-term outcomes for patients. This trial aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial to evaluate whether treating a prosthetic knee infection with one-stage revision surgery gives a better outcome than two-stage revision surgery in terms of patient function and pain, and cost-effectiveness.
The randomised clinical trial investigates the effect of using a clinical decision support system (CDSS) aiming to provide the patients and surgeons with greater transparency concerning the obtainable changes in function and health related quality of life (HRQoL) when patients are to decide if they should undergo hip- or knee replacement surgery.
25 subjects implanted with a Zimmer-Biomet Posterior Cruciate Retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 25 subjects implanted with a Zimmer-Biomet Posterior Stabilizing (PS) TKA will be asked to perform stepping up and deep knee bend activities while under fluoroscopic surveillance (x-ray video). The movements between the two different types of TKAs will be compared.
It is unclear why 20% of patients with total knee replacements (TKR) are dissatisfied. Few studies have specifically assessed the way people walk ('gait') with an 'unhappy' or unstable knee or following re-do ('revision') TKR surgery. The investigators conjecture that people having re-do TKR surgery because their knee is unstable will have altered walking patterns (for example, less bending of the knee) before and after surgery, and that these changes are related to how satisfied the patient is with their knee. The investigators will also examine whether there are differences in the way people walk with an unstable knee replacement or with a stable knee replacement, in comparison to people who do not have a knee replacement. This exploratory project will use 3D infrared cameras to analyse differences in walking patterns and whether there is associated change in patient satisfaction. If an association exists, the data from this study may help to develop alternative measures of outcomes, in order to guide treatment decisions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of JNJ-70033093 in preventing total venous thromboembolism (VTE) events (proximal and/or distal deep vein thrombosis [DVT] [asymptomatic confirmed by venography assessment or objectively confirmed symptomatic], nonfatal pulmonary embolism [PE], or any death) during the treatment period.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether a 12-week neuromuscular rehabilitation program (NEMEX-TJR) combined with pain neuroscience education (PNE) provides greater pain relief, improvement in physical function and quality of life than PNE alone in a population of patients with chronic pain after primary total knee arthroplasty. Hypothesis: Rehabilitation involving neuromuscular training and PNE will provide greater pain relief, improved function and improved quality of life compared to PNE alone at the primary endpoint, which is follow-up 12months after the start of the treatment.
We hypothesize that the use of MOBIDERM® after total knee prosthesis allows a greater and faster resorption of periarticular edema: - improvement of knee flexion; - faster functional gain; - faster decrease in postoperative pain by decreasing tissue tension.
This study analize the incidence of acute renal failure after performing total knee arthroplasty with or without use of tourniquet limb cuff (half of patients for each group) in a randomized clinical trial
PaRIS-IOR is a prospective observational study that aims to collect and analyze functional outcomes and quality of life reported by patients undergoing elective hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty at the IRCCS Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute (IOR).
