Filter by:The goal of this prospective observational study is to explore the feasibility of preoperative peripheral venous cannulation pain score in predicting acute pain after total knee arthroplasty, including resting pain and movement-evoked pain.
Purpose: A robotic system was recently introduced to improve prosthetic alignment during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) study was to determine whether robotic-arm-assisted TKA improves the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients compared to conventional TKA. Methods: One hundred and thirty patients who underwent primary TKA were enrolled in this prospective, multicenter RCT conducted in 3 hospitals. Five patients were lost to follow-up at 6 weeks after surgery. Therefore, 125 patients (63 in the intervention group and 62 in the control group) remained in the final analysis. The primary outcome was the rate of patients whose mechanical axis of the femur was less than 3° deviated from the mechanical axis of the tibia evaluated by full-length weight-bearing X-rays of the lower limb at 6 weeks postoperatively. Secondary outcomes will include operation times, 6-week postoperative functional outcomes evaluated by the American Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), SF-36, adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). Hypothesis: Robotic-arm-assisted TKA is safe and effective as demonstrated in this trial.
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to assess opioid consumption 24-48 hrs post anesthesia block among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. Is there a difference in opioid consumption 24-48 hours post block administration among patients that receive an adductor canal catheter (ACC) versus adductor canal block (ACB)? Participants will be: - Randomized to receive an adductor canal catheter (ACC) or a sham adductor canal catheter. - Asked to use the Diagnotes application to communicate with the pain doctor while the catheter is in place. - Follow up for up to 6 months post-operation. Researchers will compare the interventional group (ACC) to the control group (sham ACC + ACB) to see if there is difference in opioid consumption and chronic pain at 6 months post-operation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the joint position sense of individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and who have undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery, and to examine the effect of joint position sense on parameters related to balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia, pain and stiffness.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequent performed surgery. Many institutions are implementing fast track programs for this surgery and adequate pain management is an important feature. Analgesic duration of single shot nerve blocks is limited to no more than 24h. Conversely, the use of continuous nerve block (CNB) through a perineural catheter and infusion of local anesthetic may increase duration of analgesia and provide better outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of using CNB in patients undergoing ambulatory TKA, and its effects on patients' quality of recovery. Investigators hypothesize that continuous adductor canal block would lead to decrease in opioid consumption in patients undergoing fast track TKA. Significance There are no published prospective randomized controlled trials to assess patient's reported quality of recovery after receiving CACB in same day primary knee arthroplasties. As this is a frequent type of surgery and has the prediction to increase its incidence for the next years, there is significant importance in investigations about interventions which may improve its recovery in a fast track regime. A postoperative analgesic technique that offers better pain control, has less adverse effects, reduces the opioid analgesia requirement and is safe to be used in a fast track setting may have additional impact on decreasing health care cost and may lead to an enhanced recovery and better quality of life. Objectives To evaluate effectiveness and safety of using CACB in patients undergoing ambulatory TKA, in comparison to SACB. Primary objective is opioid consumption (in oral morphine equivalent doses) Secondary objectives are to evaluate postoperative QoR-15 scores (10), pain scores, opioid-induced adverse effects (measured via validated opioid symptom distress scale), postoperative functional status, complications relating to the perineural catheter and readmissions.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the incidence of dislodgement for adductor canal catheters after total knee arthroplasty on post-operative day 1. We will also attempt to identify factors associated with secondary catheter failure.
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter research design to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a single-dose intravenous iron combined with HuEPO hematopoietic mobilization before surgery in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty for the first time.
This study titled "Does Personalised Soft Tissue Balance Data Improve Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Medially Stabilised Arthroplasty? A Prospective, Randomised Study Investigating the Clinical Utility of the NextAR navigation system (NextAR)" is a randomised, single blinded, prospective cohort study with the primary aim determine the clinical utility of the NextAR system data in providing soft tissue balance patterns to enable prosthesis implants to resemble more native knee alignment.
This project aims to investigate the feasibility of a low load (LL) isokinetic knee flexor and extensor strength training (ST) protocol under blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions in early postoperative total knee arthroplasty patients. The intervention consists in testing an experimental strengthening protocol in the Leukerbad Clinic. 12 participants will be recruited and the intervention will last approximatively 3 weeks and will consist in 3 weekly ST. The collected data will then be analysed and interpreted to define if such an intervention is feasible or not.
