Total Knee Arthroplasty: Fast Track Protocol is the Future?
Fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total knee arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, …
Effects of Oral Tranexamic Acid Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate postoperative pain. Secondary outcomes evaluated in this study will include range of motion (ROM), opioid consumption, and ambulation. Each outcome measure will be evaluated, oral tranexamic acid (TXA) in the experiment arm and placebo in the control arm, after total knee …
Mechanical Alignment vs Kalipered Kinematic Alignment Total Knee Arthroplasty
Knee replacement surgery can be performed in one of two ways. Traditionally the goal was for the new joint to be in a neutral position with respect to the femur (thigh bone). This is called Mechanical Alignment (MA). The neutral position is different than the human knee's natural position, so …
Survival Study of the Genutech® Total Knee Arthroplasty
Prospective cohort sudy of patients undergoing a Genutech® total knee arthroplasty
Gait Analysis of a Lateral-Pivot Design Total Knee Replacement
Previous motion analysis studies have demonstrated excellent ability to distinguish subtle differences in gait between normal subjects and those suffering from arthritis. With proper techniques and analysis differences between osteoarthritis patient groups can be distinguished. Previous research has indicated that subjects who received a single-radius design total knee replacement have …
Monocentric Randomised Controlled Trial Assessing Cryocompression Following Total Knee Replacement
Immediately following surgery, icepacks are commonly used to decrease inflammation and reduce pain and have demonstrated to decrease post-operative opioid consumption. New cryocompression devices have been introduced as a non-invasive and non-pharmacological modality used to manage acute inflammation and pain, demonstrating benefits in the post- operative setting promoting vasoconstriction, reducing …
Effect of Sarcopenia on Clinical Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty
As human life expectancy increases, the prevalence of degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee joints is steadily rising, leading to a significant surge in the frequency of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, research on sarcopenia in the population that comprises the primary recipients of these orthopedic joint surgeries has been notably …
Multiprofen-CC™ to Reduce Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical treatment which involves replacing the damaged articular cartilage of the knee joint with an artificial prosthetic in end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although total knee arthroplasties are mostly successful, approximately 1 in 5 patients are unsatisfied with their outcomes with 16-33% of patients of patients experiencing …
The Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the analgesic efficacy and postoperative recovery of two locoregional anesthesia combinations in patients \> 18 years (ASA I-III), scheduled for unilateral TKA under spinal anesthesia with expected hospitalization \> 24 hours: ACB + sacral ESP block ACB + iPACK block …
Cannabidiol for Postoperative Opioid Reduction in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
The goal of this study is to better understand how daily treatment with cannabidiol (CBD) affects the need for opioid pain medication, as well as pain, inflammation and other related symptoms, after knee replacement surgery. The information collected in this study is necessary to help understand whether CBD may be …
