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 …
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 …
In total knee arthroplasty, the effectiveness of some peripheral nerve blocks in postoperative pain control has been investigated, with conflicting results reported. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the suprainguinal fascia iliaca plane block, which is routinely performed in our clinic for postoperative pain …
Prospective cohort sudy of patients undergoing a Genutech® total knee arthroplasty
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 …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about preventing falls in people who have total knee replacement surgery using treadmill perturbation training. Perturbation training involves adjusting to rapid speed changes on a treadmill. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does perturbation training improve the way that …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
