Filter by:Patients suffer from moderate to severe pain after TKA. Patients are asked to begin functional exercise as early as possible after surgery, and that requires adequate control of postoperative pain. Regional anesthesia divides into non-motor sparing peripheral nerve blocks as femoral n. block and sciatic n. block and motor sparing peripheral nerve block as adductor canal block and IPACK but these blocks have many drawbacks. So new studies found that a modified 4 in-1 block blocks all these nerves and produces adequate analgesia without sparing areas.
This is a a prospective cohort study. According to the inclusion criteria, volunteers were recruited from patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The patients are devided into two groups: the conventional TKA,the computer-assisted surgery(CAS) using Brainlab Knee 3 system.The differences of postoperative alignment,operative time,blood loss will be studied between the two groups.Clinical and functional evaluation using the scoring system of HSS(Hospital for Special Surgery) score, Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), Forgotten joint score(FJS-12) will be compared between the 2 groups,after surgery, and at the follow-up of 3 months、6 months and 12 months.
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) has recently been reported to be effective in controlling pain in persistent chronic pain caused by joint surgery and arthritis. However, opioids are important drugs that still play a pivotal role in pain control after surgery. In this study, we want to investigate the difference of the result among patients who undego total knee arthroplasty (TKA), of the result of pain control after TKA from SNRI administration of duloxetine and opioid in two groups. We designed a randomized controlled study (RCT) for the effect of post-TKA pain control to determine whether SNRI is effective in controlling post-TKA pain compared to Opioid, and whether there is a difference in side effects.
In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been implanted with either a MicroPort Medial Pivot or DePuy Attune posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by Dr. Russell Nevins of Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center [this is the location from which participants will be recruited].
Background and study aims Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, which most often affects the knee. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the end of bones wears away. The bones then rub against one another, which can cause stiffness, pain and a reduction in a person's range of movement. A knee joint replacement is a common procedure where the weight bearing surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with metal and plastic components to relieve the pain and disability brought on by OA. Tranexamic Acid（TXA） is a traditional method to reduce blood loss, pain score and complications. It is not known however, what is the best method of TXA for the patients with TKA. The aim of this study is to find out whetherVisual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid Reduced the Blood Loss in patients who have had knee replacement surgery.
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 primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postoperative intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in patients with anemia undergoing Simultaneous Bilateral Total knee replacement in terms of Quality of life (QOL) and objective measures (Hemoglobin and Iron parameters).
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.
This study aims to estimated the change of the steps of daily life of osteoarthritis patients before and in 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year after the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through a kind of activity tracker: Fitbit ONE.
A new operation technique was established ("reversed gap technique" for implantation of total knee arthroplasties. Based on the encouraging results of a pilot study, the clinical outcome shall be evaluated using the conventional "gap technique" as control in a RCT study.
