Filter by:To compare two methods of post-operative pain management in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. There is a perception that the periarticular injections may not be as effective in controlling post-operative pain. Both methods are current standard of care. The investigators want to compare the outcomes of each when patients are randomized to one of the methods compared to the other method of post-operative pain control.
Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty are procedures commonly used in severe degeneration of the knee joint due to osteoarthritis. With an increasing number of Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty performed in a population that is aging during a time where the amount of healthcare dollars allotted to rehabilitation is declining, there is a need to develop remote monitoring of rehabilitation and to engage and optimize self-management of recovery. Current management of Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty recovery is typically performed in the out-patient setting and is highly protocol driven. A typical case might be seen by the physical therapist 2-3x/week for 8-10 weeks to perform specific exercises and to monitor progress (i.e. compliance with ROM and strengthening exercises). One recent study suggested that variation in patients' independent exercise and activity after arthroplasty surgery may contribute to variable functional gains. The investigators are proposing that the StepRite device developed by MedHab, (a shoe insert that collects functional data) will reduce cost and improve the efficacy of rehabilitation in total knee arthroplasty patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and efficacy of the 3DKnee™ System using Vitamin E UHMWPE tibial inserts for total knee replacement surgery.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the operative performance of the PEAK PlasmaBlade 4.0 during total knee replacement; to monitor and record post-operative pain, activity level, narcotic consumption, adverse events, and skin scarring following surgery; and compare these outcomes to the current standard of care (SOC).
