KNEE ARTHROPLASTY, TOTAL

This study compares two ways to do total knee replacement: the standard method and one using computer navigation. Researchers want to see which gives better knee function, less pain, and lower costs. About 160 adults with knee arthritis will take part.

This study compares two ways of doing robotic knee replacement: keeping the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) versus removing it. Researchers want to see which approach helps patients feel less aware of their artificial joint 12 months after surgery. About 300 adults scheduled fo…

This study tests two ways to numb the knee after surgery: one block alone versus that block plus an extra injection behind the knee. The goal is to see which method better controls pain and reduces the need for strong painkillers like morphine. About 60 adults having knee replace…

About 20-30% of people still have pain after total knee replacement. This study tests if freezing the knee nerves at least 24 hours before surgery can lower pain and help patients move better. One hundred adults with knee arthritis will be randomly assigned to get the freezing pr…

This study aims to understand why up to 20% of people still have moderate-to-severe pain after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers will survey about 100 participants to classify their pain type (nerve-related, tissue-related, or mixed). The goal is to improve how doctors…

This study looks at whether the routine one-year follow-up visit with an X-ray after total hip or knee replacement is truly needed. Currently, guidelines recommend a check-up at one year, but these visits take time and money for patients and the healthcare system. The study will …

This study tests whether machine learning can accurately predict when spinal anesthesia ends after total knee replacement. Researchers will use patient data like age and surgery details to train computer models. The goal is to help doctors plan better care and improve patient rec…
