Balancing Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Replacements During Total Primary Knee Arthroplasty Using Verasense
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is an operation to help with the pain and decreased function that happens with end stage arthritis of the knee. This operation has been shown to be very successful at relieving pain and improving patient mobility; however, some studies have shown that up to 20% of …
Distal Femur Fx: ORIF(Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) vs DFR (Distal Femur Replacement Total Knee Arthroplasty)
Supracondylar femur periprosthetic fractures about a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are a catastrophic and challenging complication of TKA and unfortunately are increasing in incidence. Fixation of these fractures can be challenging due to altered anatomy for the TKA and the presence of the metallic femoral component and have a relatively …
Persistent Post Surgical Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Patients undergone total knee replacement are randomized to receive a "fast track" regional anesthesia protocol or a "traditional" regional anesthesia continuous infusion by both a femoral and sciatic catheter to assess if this latter technique may reduce persistent postoperative pain six months after surgery
Cryoneurolysis for Acute Postoperative Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Cryoneurolysis is a regional anaesthetic technique that works by freezing peripheral sensory nerves. This technique can potentially provide analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the technique is expensive and comprehensive. Pain 24 hours after surgery is associated with high amounts of late acute pain. Therefore, the aim of the …
Femoral BMD Change Following Cemented or Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to examine femur bone mineral density (BMD) change before and after surgery in patients receiving cemented or cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA). performed with manual or robotic methods. 100 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 14 …
Continuous Infusion and Intermittent Bolus Adductor Canal Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty
The investigators believed the analgesic efficacy of adductor canal block on patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. However, the analgesic effects of different delivery regimens and duration of effects are variable. The investigators hypothesize that using continuous infusion and shorter interval bolus of local anesthetics to perform adductor canal block will …
Journey Bicruciate Stabilized (BCS) Design and Legion Posterior Stabilized (PS) Design; Comparative Study
Today, primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered to be a safe and successful therapy for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. In the past decades, different total knee prostheses have been released on the market showing minor or more important differences in design features. Smith and Nephew® (Memphis, Tennessee, USA) …
Swelling Management After Knee Replacement
To determine if inelastic adjustable compression garment results in improved surgical limb swelling control (bioimpedance assessment - primary outcome) after TKA compared to control (TED hose).
Return to Sports After Knee Arthroplasty
The ability to return to sports after joint arthroplasty is increasingly becoming an important factor for patients in terms of their perceived quality of life. In sports orthopaedics, standardized functional tests have already been established - particularly for anterior cruciate ligament injuries - to assess athletic performance and prevent re-injury. …
Efficacy of Dalbavancin in Osteoarticular Infections Associated With Hip and Knee Replacements
Osteoarticular infections associated with hip and knee prostheses require optimal surgical and medical management to maximize the rate of therapeutic success. Antibiotic therapy should be administered for a period of 12 weeks. Tolerance problems, difficulties in maintaining compliance over 12 weeks, bacterial multidrug resistance and sometimes intravenous administration are the …
