Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized control trial to compare SPANK block combined with adductor canal block to adductor canal block alone in treatment of post-operative pain after total knee arthroplasty. The primary outcome is pain control, which will be measured throughout the post-operative course using morphine equivalents of opioid analgesics used during the first 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include pain scores recorded at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 hours post-operatively, cumulative pain score, incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting, and extent of motor blockade. The study will aid in answering the question of whether SPANK block is an effective adjunct in preventing pain and decreasing opioid requirement after TKA.
Rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty is very important in terms of range of motion of the knee, muscle power, normal gait, pain control and consequently the patient's satisfaction. Convectional rehabilitation methods in assist of therapist required high demand of resources. Recently, outpatient clinic or tele-communication tool based rehabilitations were investigated and reported equivalent results. However, those methods also required group or one-to-one facing that restricted availability of the exercise. With development of the motion tracking technology, new device that gives real time feedback with augmented reality images can be used for rehabilitation in home-based setting. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes after the rehabilitation by interactive home-based device or conventional inpatient setting.
This objective of this study is to determine whether the Air Barrier System device reduces airborne colony-forming units (e.g., bacteria) present at a surgery site during total knee arthroplasty surgeries.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), also called degenerative knee disease, is one of the most common bone and joint diseases in clinic. It was estimated to affect more than 9 million individuals in the United States in 2005 and is a leading cause of disability and medical costs. Most elderly people over the age of 65 have radiographic and/or clinical evidence of osteoarthritis. KOA is a lifelong disease which can lead to obvious pain, joint stiffness, limitation of activity and even joint failure or disability. Acupuncture is a popular treatment taken from ancient Chinese medicine, in which fine needles are placed into the body at specific points. Studies have shown that acupuncture can stimulate nerves under the skin, causing the body to produce natural pain-relieving substances (endorphins). However the evidences of acupuncture for KOA are contradictory. According to the review, intensive acupuncture with three sessions a week is more effective for KOA than sparse acupuncture with one session a week. Moreover, the papers published in the past years suggest that manual acupuncture and electro-acupuncture are most commonly used acupuncture therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intensive electro-acupuncture or manual acupuncture versus sham acupuncture in reducing pain and improving function in patients with KOA.
