Filter by: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.
A retrospective one-time evaluation of total knee patients one year or more postoperative, to compare antero-posterior (AP) stability with the TELOS Stress device/stress x-rays and clinical outcomes. Multiple implant brand/models will be included in the study.
This study is designed to investigate whether iovera° treatment prior to TKA decreases cumulative participant opioid use over the course of 6 weeks following TKA while maintaining similar levels of pain relief. The study will also investigate whether there is a relationship between participants treated with iovera° and participant reported pain and function as measured by knee injury and osteoarthritis outcomes score (KOOS JR), numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain; use of hospital services post-TKA and improved physical rehabilitation as measured by range of motion.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superior accuracy with the Navio ™ Robotic-assisted Surgical System in achieving desired post-operative mechanical alignment, compared to TKA procedures using standard instruments. An additional study purpose is to document clinical and patient-reported outcomes in subjects receiving TKA with the Navio ™ system.
The objective of this study is to estimate the safety and performance of Journey II BCS TKS.
The study's primary objective is to compare the following parameters between wound closure following primary TKA with and without supplement tissue adhesive (Leukosan®):
The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation (small levels of electricity) in addition to the standard of care can safely and effectively reduce pain following total knee replacement more than the standard of care, alone. This study involves a device called the SPRINT Beta System. The SPRINT Beta System delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the leg that received the knee replacement. The SPRINT Beta System includes a small wire (called a "lead") that is placed through the skin in the upper leg. It also includes a device worn on the body that delivers stimulation (called the SPRINT Beta Stimulator). About half the subjects in this study will receive the SPRINT Beta system (treatment group) and half will not (control group). Both groups will receive the standard of care.
The primary objectives of this study are to: 1) develop an educational tool known as the Patient Reported Outcome Measure informed Decision Aid (PROM-DA) that will describe the options for patients considering total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, and help them imagine what to expect if they choose either option; 2) assess the extent that the PROM-DA improves patients decision quality; 3) determine the feasibility of a larger trial to test the PROM-DA in multiple sites and more patients.
Despite surgical success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), reports of dissatisfaction and poor outcomes including increased pain, reduced function for daily activities, and compromised psychological health are common. Interventions to improve TKA outcomes are primarily education-focused, however there is little support for efficacy. Evidence suggests that mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is effective for improving both physical and mental health, which are factors implicated in negative post-operative TKA outcomes. The efficacy of this empirically supported intervention on TKA outcomes has not been assessed. The proposed pilot study will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of pre-surgical MBSR on post-surgical outcomes. Post-operative pain (severity and catastrophizing), functioning (interference and illness impact), quality of life, emotional distress (anxiety and depression) and sleep will be assessed in pre-surgical MBSR and compared to treatment as usual. This pilot will provide an opportunity for TKA patients to receive an intervention that may improve outcomes. Further, it will provide insight into the relationship between pre-surgical MBSR and post-operative TKA outcomes, which will assist in the development of MBSR adaptations to less time intensive, and potentially more accessible, future offerings.
