Filter by:The rational of intra-articular viscosupplementation is based on both the biological and mechanical properties of HA, which exerts positive effects on the modulation of the entire joint environment. The aim of the present double blind controlled study was to evaluate the effects in terms of pain control and functional recovery provided by a single intra-operative injection of HA performed at the end of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Patients included in this trial were randomized in two treatment groups: the first one received a single injection of HA (Hymovis 24 mg/3ml, Fidia Farmaceutici Spa, Padova, Italy) at the end of the arthroscopic meniscectomy, whereas the second group was treated by surgery alone. All patients were evaluated basally, at 15, 30, 60, and 180 days after surgery by the following evaluation tools: IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) subjective, VAS (Visual Analogue Score) for pain, EQ-VAS for general Health Status, KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and Tegner score. Furthermore, during the basal evaluation and at each follow-up visit up to 2 months, active and passive Range of Motion (ROM) of both the operated and contralateral knee were documented; also in addition, the trans-patellar circumference of both knees was registered to assess the trend of knee swelling over time.
This study will compare meniscal healing augmented or without augmentation with bone marrow stimulation techniques The assessments will include validated, disease specific, patient oriented outcome measures, second look arthroscopy during second step ACL reconstruction. Results of this study will help ascertain whether microfractures improve meniscal healing rates.
The investigators of the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of spinal anesthesia with low dose bupivacaine combined with femoral blockade on duration of anesthesia and time of first analgesic requirement during postoperative period
This study will compare meniscal healing with or without platelet rich plasma. The assessments will include validated, disease specific, patient oriented outcome measures, MRI arthrogram (MRA). Results of this study will help ascertain whether PRP improves meniscal healing rates. Null Hypothesis: There is no difference in meniscal healing with or without the use of PRP.
The knee menisci are two semicircular fibrocartilaginous structures located between the articular cartilage surfaces of the femur and tibia in the medial and lateral joint compartments. The main functions of the menisci are shock absorption and load transmission in the knee, mainly through distribution of mechanical stress over a large area of the joint cartilage. The hypothesis is that primarily older age, meniscal lesion and high pain score at baseline are associated with poorer outcome.
The Purpose of this study is to determine whether Adductor-Canal-Block (ACB) is superior to placebo when it comes to analgetic efficacy after Knee-Arthroscopy.
