Filter by:The literature regarding resurfacing of the patella in total knee arthroplasty has conflicting conclusions. This study assesses medium-term clinical results of total knee arthroplasties performed with and without the patellar resurfacing in patients undergoing single-staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty in a randomized controlled, clinical study at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.
For the total knee arthrorplasty (TKA), the placement of a prosthesis is delicate and the correct positioning of the implants determines the result of the surgery. Navigation has improved surgical accuracy but remains inadequate with nearly 20% malposition. In the early 2010s, robot-assisted surgery solutions were born. Amongst its offers, Stryker's MAKO™ system appears to be the most advanced and developed due to its precision and its flexibility of use during surgery. In this study, the investigators evaluate the placement of the total knee prosthesis with the MAKO™ system compared to the placement of the total knee prosthesis with a conventional mechanical system for TKA
The rate of falls in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is high and related to lower limb muscle weakness and poor balance control. However, since routine post-TKA rehabilitation is uncommon, it is paramount to explore alternative strategies to enhance balance and physical functioning in post-TKA patients. As Tai Chi is a proven strategy for improving balance in older people, the proposed study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week community-based post-TKA multimodal Tai Chi program and to collect preliminary data with respect to the efficacy of such a program in improving balance and physical functioning in post-TKA patients as compared to usual postoperative care.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of preoperative intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in patients with anemia undergoing Simultaneous Bilateral Total knee replacement in terms of Quality of life (QOL) and objective measures (Hb and Iron parameters).

The objective of the study is to assess retrospectively the effect of an awareness-raising phase in favour of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery across the Assistance Publique-Hopitaux Paris institution and to explore the determinants of compliance with modalities of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. This multicenter study is performed for three types of surgery: total knee arthroplasty, left colectomy and hysterectomy.
Interferential current is widely used as a popular treatment in painful musculoskeletal disorders. And total knee arthroplasty patients present with extreme pain immediately after surgery. So this study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interferential current implementation following total knee arthroplasty surgery. In this study interferential current compared with sham interferential current . Patients were assessed with pain, range of motion , edema and the amount of used paracetamol.
This study evaluate the efficacy of adding popliteal sciatic nerve block with low concentration bupivacaine and dexamethasone to abductor canal block for total knee arthroplasty in patient with NSAIDs prescribing precaution. Half of participants will receive popliteal sciatic nerve block, abductor canal block and periarticular injection, while the other half will receive a sham block, abductor canal block and periarticular injection.
Aim of the study: To evaluate the efficacy of lymphatic drainage treatment associated with the application of kinesiotaping in the reduction of lymphedema, pain and in the recovery of knee joint ROM in patients undergoing surgery of total knee arthroplasty in osteoarthritis. Inclusion criteria: Operated patients of total primary knee arthroplasty in osteoarthritis not later than 5 days after surgery, Patients of both sexes aged between 65 and 85, Presence of lymphedema and volumetric difference with the contralateral limb of the cirtometry equal or greater than 3 cm. Exclusion criteria: Patients operated for re-implantation or revision, presence of inflammatory, neurological, important cardiological diseases and active tumor pathologies, absence of DVT of the lower limb. Study design: Prospective, open, randomized, lasting 12 months GROUP 1 (33 pts) KINESIOTAPING + STANDARD REHABILITATION GROUP 2 (33 pts) LYMPHODRAINAGE+ STANDARD REHABILITATION GROUP 3 (33 pts) KINESIOTAPING + LYMPHODRAINAGE + STANDARD REHABILITATION Outcome measures: Pain: evaluation with NRS scale 0-10, Edema: cirtometric evaluation (in 4 standard points), ROM: goniometric measurement of the knee joint excursion. All measures at the beginning and end of treatment (6 days).
Randomized study comparing surgical and economic parameter of Total Knee Arthroplasty performed using two different specific surgical techniques.
