Filter by:Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, chronic, and costly condition whilst total knee replacement (TKR) is a common orthopaedic surgical intervention. In Singapore, after TKR surgery, nearly all patients who are home discharged are referred to hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation. Although outpatient rehabilitation attendance is associated with better functional outcomes, access to rehabilitation care is limited as outpatient rehabilitation is costly and inconvenient for patients and their caregivers, resulting in suboptimal adherence. A smartphone home-based rehabilitation program provides the best access to rehabilitation care and is a potential alternative for the majority of patients who do not require intensive "hands-on" rehabilitation therapy. The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare patient functional outcomes and cost-effectiveness of this innovative smartphone home-based exercise program versus that of currently standard, hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation program among post TKR patients in the Department of Physiotherapy, Singapore General Hospital.
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on craniocervical pain, posture, function and kinesiophobia in different types of temporomandibular dysfunction. The secondary aim of the study was to examine the differences between the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on different types of temporomandibular dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship (revision rates) and patient reported outcomes (PROMs) following implantation of the Insignia hip stem in patients undergoing cementless total hip replacement surgery compared to currently available stems used for the same type of surgery. It is hypothesised the 2-year survivorship of the Insignia stem is noninferior to the benchmark survivorship of similar stems used in the same type of surgery.
The primary aim of our study is to leverage lung ultrasound to assess and identify postoperative pulmonary complications following shoulder arthroscopic surgery and the implications of the used irrigation fluid.the investigators will further investigate the impact of intraoperative fluid management strategies on these Postoperative pulmonary complications and their effects on hemodynamics. By harnessing the potential of lung ultrasound in this context, we aspire to enhance both the diagnostic capabilities and overall safety of shoulder arthroscopic surgery, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
The present study examines adding local anesthetic injection superior to the sartorius at the level of the femoral triangle to block the intermediate femoral cutaneous nerve (IFCN) which is responsible for the innervation of the anterior thigh and the proximal part of the parapatellar incision used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This may provide superior analgesia when added to dual subsartorial blockade in cases of total knee arthroplasty
The Real Time MRI Rapid Flash sequence is particularly interesting for the study of moving organs and joints. This sequence will make it possible to characterize normal and pathological temporomandibular joint movements by MRI.
The study is a nationwide, register-based cohort survey study. The objective of this study is to investigate whether weight change is associated with the incidence of persistent postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty and knee arthroplasty across non-obese and obese and patients.
Randomized, controlled, single center observational study to compare the safety and performance of navigation-assisted OrthoPilot Elite and robotic-assisted MAKO total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the study is the comparison of the clinical outcome between navigated and robotic-assisted TKA. The hypothesis of the study is that both treatments achieve similar results regarding functional and clinical aspects.
Comparison between Arthrocentesis alone arthrocentesis with hyaluronic acid injection in management of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in the form of anterior disc displacement with reduction.
The purpose of the study is the rate of return to sport (regardless of the sport envisaged) after a minimum of 3 years after total knee prosthesis.
