Filter by:Patients undergone total knee replacement are randomized to receive a "fast track" regional anesthesia protocol or a "traditional" regional anesthesia continuous infusion by both a femoral and sciatic catheter to assess if this latter technique may reduce persistent postoperative pain six months after surgery
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for post total joint arthroplasty incisions has demonstrated benefits in reducing wound complications. A prospective randomized trial will be conducted including 40 patients who will undergo total knee and total hip arthroplasty. The number of wound complications within 21 days will be recorded. As well, the aesthetic appearance and quality of scarring of the scar will be assessed.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. However, one of the challenges associated with total knee arthroplasty is the significant postoperative pain experienced by patients, which can delay early mobilization and physical therapy. Uncontrolled pain worsens patient outcomes and healthcare costs as it can increase the risk of complications after surgery. Therefore, effective pain management is important for optimizing patient outcomes and promoting a smooth recovery process. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of two different regimens of bupivacaine used in boluses for continuous adductor canal block under ultrasound-guidance in total knee arthroplasty at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Objective: To investigate the effects of core stability exercises (CSE) added to the standard exercises (SE) on patient-reported (PR) and performance-based (PB) outcomes in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) followed with telerehabilitation (TR). Methods: The 42 patients who participated in the study were randomly divided into 2 groups [group 1: SE (n= 21), group 2: SE + CSE (n= 21)]. The first 8 weeks of the post-discharge follow-up were performed by videoconference-based TR under the supervision of a physiotherapist and the last 4 weeks by telephone-based TR. Functional level was assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), pain intensity by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), affected knee range of motion (ROM) by Copenhagen Knee Range of Motion Scale (CKRS), quality of life by Short Form-12 (SF-12) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), lower extremity muscle strength by 30-seconds Chair-Stand Test and locomotor performance by Stair Climb Test. Assessments were performed with TR preoperatively and at the first, second and third post-op months.
MADISON Total Knee Prosthesis is intended to be used for total knee arthroplasty to reduce pain and restore joint mobility of the knee. Clinical data for MADISON Total Knee Prosthesis available are not deemed sufficient to support performance and benefits claimed on the whole lifetime of the product. Thus, in order to maintain compliance with the EU regulation (2017/745) related to medical devices and following ISO 14/155:2020, SERF has set up post-market clinical follow-up study (PMCF) to confirm safety and performance of Total Knee Arthroplasty system MADISON. This study is designed to cover the expected 15-years follow-up, to retrieve data according to implant feature (Posterior Stabilized or Ultra Congruent) or fixation method and to gather data related to the revision of partial knee prosthesis. The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical safety of MADISON total knee prostheses. The secondary objective is to evaluate the survival rates, the clinical performances and clinical benefits of MADISON total knee prosthesis.
Open-label, randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of preoperative acupuncture on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain for high-anxiety patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty. The hypothesis is that preoperative acupuncture will reduce preoperative anxiety, reduce postoperative pain, reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting, reduce opioid consumption, and improve patient satisfaction.
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
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial sought to evaluate the efficacy of the iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block on postoperative pain, functional recovery and NLR and PLR levels.
The ultrasound-guided selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia and reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing arthroscopic medial meniscectomy. Selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia without quadriceps muscle weakness. It has been shown that the adductor canal block (ACB) block increases the spread of local anesthetics in a distal and proximal way. Therefore, the proximal spread of local anesthetics may cause possible quadriceps weakness. The distal spread of local anesthetics may increase analgesic effect via sciatic nerve. The different volumes for ACB is a topic of discussion. The aim of this study is to compare the different volumes of US-guided ACB performing for postoperative analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty surgery.
The IPACK (interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee) block is a regional anesthesia technique in which a local anesthetic is infiltrated under ultrasound guidance between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee. This technique blocks the branches of the obturator nerve, the common peroneal nerve, and the tibial nerve in the popliteal region. In the context of knee arthroplasty, the application of the IPACK block has been associated with lower scores for ambulatory pain, lower scores for resting pain, and reduced morphine consumption . The genicular nerves, including the superomedial, inferomedial, superolateral, inferolateral genicular nerves, and the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve, comprise the five main innervation branches of the knee. Clinically, they play an important role in the anterior sensory innervation of the knee. In the study, the investigators aimed to prospectively, double-blind, and randomly compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of combined IPACK block and genicular block with the sole application of IPACK block in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators hypothesized that in blocks performed with equal volumes, there might be a spread of the local anesthetic solution from the IPACK block area to the genicular block area, and the investigators investigated this hypothesis.
