Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess whether the application of bone wax to exposed cancellous bone, after the cemented implants are in place, will provide superior hemostasis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients compared to patients who do not have the bone wax applied. Hemostasis will be assessed by calculating blood loss using the Hb-balance formula.
This study aims to determine the effect of counseling on quality of life and self-care agency for patients who are scheduled for TKR.
The aim of this study is to assess the long-term performance and safety of HLS KneeTec cementless and hybrid fixation knee prosthesis when used in standard medical practice.
TKA involves extensive bone resection as well as soft tissue excision and therefore is associated with profound postoperative pain. Adequate analgesia after TKA is therefore considered paramount to facilitate early hospital discharge and effective functional recovery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical performance and safety in total knee arthroplasty using HLS implants.
To compare the differences, if any, in clinical outcome, patient satisfaction and survivorship between cemented and uncemented Total Knee Replacements (TKR)? To investigate if there are health economic implications of using uncemented TKRs in the NHS?
This is a single center, investigator initiated clinical trial using a FDA approved, marketed brace called DJO X4. This phase 4, prospective, randomized clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the use of the X4 knee brace with the Motion Intelligence platform in patients having unilateral TKA. The study is designed to determine if using a "virtual rehabilitation" device leads to enhanced recovery following TKA by improving patient objective and subjective outcome measures.
Post-market, monocentric, randomised, open-label, parallel group, prospective study conducted in patients who have to perform a total knee replacement (TKR) with Physica KR or Physica CR system.
The investigators aim to investigate whether the addition of a surgeon-administered adductor canal blockade to a multimodal periarticular injection cocktail provides additional pain relief for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. This study will help identify the effectiveness of surgeon-administered adductor canal blockade in perioperative pain control for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
Knee arthroplasty also known as the total knee replacement is an orthopedic surgical procedure done to resurface the knee that has been severely damaged by arthritis. The optimal goal of skin closure after the procedure is to promote rapid healing and an acceptable cosmetic result while minimizing the risk of infection. Skin closure after knee arthroplasty is done by using either of the two widely used sutures i.e. polypropylene (Prolene) sutures or the skin staple sutures. The literature is very scarce on knee arthroplasty patients and the results of the studies conducted have been inconclusive of the studies conducted on the patients of knee arthroplasty. Moreover, there are no standard guidelines as to which type of suture should be used. The type of sutures is being selected on the orders and wishes of the surgeon at the time of skin closure. Prolene sutures are made up of a synthetic steroisomer known as polypropylene. It is a monofilament non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture. They are indicated for use in general soft tissue. It Provides permanent tensile strength retention in tissue, even in the presence of infection. These sutures are exceptionally smooth for an easy passage through the tissue. Prolene sutures are widely used in cardiovascular, orthopedics, ophthalmic, and neurological surgical procedures. Another type of sutures that are used to close the surgical wound are the staple sutures. They are used as an alternative to the traditional Prolene sutures. They are non-absorbable and usually used on surgical wounds that are big, complex or hard to close by using Prolene. These are specialized staples made up of titanium, stainless steel or plastic. Interventions: The study will have 2 intervention arms. The patients will be randomized to receive either Prolene sutures for wound closure or staple sutures for wound closure. After the application of the intervention, routine care would be given to the patients postoperatively. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that there is no difference in the incidence of surgical site infection in bilateral TKR patients with wound closure by Prolene vs staple. Study Design: This study will be conducted as an open blinded, parallel design, equivalence randomized controlled trial. The patients would be randomized to receive either of the two interventions i.e. Prolene or Staple sutures.
