Filter by:This study compares the tow technique of continues adductor canal block for total knee replacement surgery. Half participants will receive catheterization at the entrance of the adductor canal, while the other half will receive catheterization at the middle point of the adductor canal.
Total knee arthroplasty is performed in patients with advanced stages of osteoarthritis who can not respond to conservative treatment, in order to reduce pain, increase range of motion, and improve function and quality of life. Continuous passive motion device continues to be used in many clinics, although it has been shown that there is no effect in total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical effects of the knee exercise device on pain, ROM and function and quality of life in total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation.
To help curb the use of opioid medications following orthopedic surgery investigators have developed a new multi-modal pain pathway. Investigators aim to compare this regimen with and without the inclusion of opioid medications. This study will be performed in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled fashion in patients undergoing primary total knee or total hip arthroplasty. Investigators hypothesize that the opioid devoid pathway will show equivalent pain scores to the pathway that includes opioids while also having less constipation, nausea, and vomiting following surgery. If successful, this would create a dramatic decrease in opioid consumption following orthopedic surgery while still providing appropriate pain relief to patients.
This study compares analgesic effect between two techniques of adductor canal nerve block after total knee arthroplasty. The first group of the patients will receive intraoperative adductor canal nerve block; and the other group post operative ultrasound guided adductor canal nerve block. Investigators will measure postoperative opioid consumption, pain management and rehabilitation goals.
Objective To evaluate the incidence of psychological problems in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients and examine whether perioperative psychological intervention can improve the outcomes of and patient satisfaction with TKA. Methods The investigators will prospectively collect clinical data from 400 patients who underwent primary TKA by the same surgeon at Peking University Third Hospital. The patients will be divided into 3 groups based on psychological status and intervention: the normal group comprised patients with a normal psychological status, while patients with an abnormal psychological status will be randomly divided into the intervention group, which received psychological interventions, and the control group, which do not receive any psychological interventions. The HSS（Hospital of special surgery） and WOMAC scores will be evaluated preoperatively, 3 months postoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. A self-administered satisfaction scale (very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied) that assessed overall satisfaction as well as satisfaction with pain relief and the ability to perform daily and leisure activities will be administered 6 months postoperatively. Hypothesis A certain percentage of TKA patients have preoperative psychological abnormalities. Preoperative psychological abnormalities can have an adverse effect on postoperative improvement in joint function and can reduce patient satisfaction. Preoperative psychological intervention can improve the prognosis of TKA patients with psychological disorders.
The purpose of this retrospective study is to compare the analgesic efficiency of IPACK block (Interspace between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the posterior Knee) with surgical infiltration after total knee arthroplasty. The main objective is to compare cumulative morphine consumption the first 24 hours after surgery. The secondary objectives are to compare pain scores, types and amounts of other analgesics needed during the first 24 hours after surgery.
This prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled study evaluates effects of femoral triangle and adductor canal blocks in comparison with femoral nerve block for primary total knee arthroplasty. Patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty will be randomly assigned to receive either femoral triangle and adductor canal blocks or femoral nerve block. Comparison of these two groups of patients will be based on the effects on postoperative pain control, extent of motor blockade, ability of early ambulation, patients satisfaction rates over the time of clinical recovery and the length of hospitalization. To the investigator's knowledge, no comparison has been made between femoral triangle and adductor canal blocks and femoral nerve block or any other block. Consequently, we hypothesized that femoral triangle and adductor canal blocks and femoral nerve block provide similar effects on postoperative pain control, but femoral triangle and adductor canal blocks are superior to femoral nerve block in terms of early postoperative mobilization.
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.
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.
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.
