In the current prospective, randomized study, two different materials of the same total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system - cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and titanium-nitride (TiN) - are going to be compared with regards to postoperative outcome. Two-hundred patients are planned to be included in the study over a 4-year period, randomly assigned to either the CoCr- or TiN-implant-group. In order to ensure double-blinding, patients will not be informed about the group they had been assigned to. Moreover, no identifying information of the implant used will be written on documents later accessible to nurses and/or physicians at follow-up appointments. Consequently, surgeons of the respective patients will be excluded from study-specific examination of patients. Despite range of motion (ROM), questionnaires (visual analogue scale - VAS; Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index - WOMAC, Forgotten Joint Score - FJS; Knee Society Scoe - KSS) will be used to assess the postoperative outcome. Furthermore, metal ion levels (cobalt, chrom, molybdenum, titanium) in the blood stream of patients will be measured at scheduled follow-up appointments. It is expected that there will not be a measureable difference between the two coating-groups with regards to ROM, functionality, and metal-ion levels over time.
This study will prospectively investigate the efficacy of Adductor canal block with periarticular infiltration Vs Adductor canal block, Periarticluar infiltration and Sensory posterior articular nerve of the knee block in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The study will aid in answering question whether SPANK block is an effective adjunct in preventing posterior knee pain without causing motor blockade.
The purpose of this post-market observational registry is to collect additional data on the safety and effectiveness of the HEMOBLAST™ Bellows device in total knee arthroplasty procedures.
This is a prospective, single-center, single-blinded, randomized, case-control study. The study is conducted by a single investigator at an orthopedic surgery institute, with a minimum 6 week post operative follow-up period of TKA patients who receive Exparel compared with the surgeon's standard method (detailed below) for pain management intraoperatively.
Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves a significant amount of blood loss and it has always been the surgeons' goal to try to minimize blood loss. In the current study, we will investigate the effect of blood loss after total knee arthroplasty with the combination of Evicel, a fibrin sealant and Tranexamic Acid.
The goal of this registry is to review the data collected and research ways to improve patient safety, quality of care, and medical decision-making, reduce medical spending, and help advance orthopedic science and bioengineering.
Study designed to evaluate the Zip Surgical Skin Closure device versus conventional steel staple placement when utilized for surgical wound closure after bi lateral unicompartmental or bi later total knee replacement.
