KNEE ARTHROPLASTY, TOTAL

This study looks at whether people who have knee replacement surgery can use remote monitoring and video calls instead of scheduled in-person follow-ups. About 140 patients will be split into two groups: one with standard hospital visits at 2 and 12 months, and another that answe…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after total knee replacement. One group gets a standard adductor canal block, while the other gets that block plus an IPACK block. Researchers will measure pain scores and how much morphine patients need in the first 2…

This study looks at whether keeping or removing the posterior cruciate ligament during robotic knee replacement helps patients feel more natural after surgery. About 300 adults having their first robotic knee replacement will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The ma…

This study tests if freezing the nerves around the knee (cryoneurolysis) one day before total knee replacement surgery can lower pain and help patients move better afterward. About 100 adults with knee arthritis will be randomly assigned to get the freezing procedure plus surgery…

This study compares two ways to perform total knee replacement: the standard manual technique versus one guided by computer-assisted navigation. Researchers will enroll 160 patients and measure pain, function, blood loss, and costs. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted met…

This study investigates why up to 20% of people continue to have moderate-to-severe pain after hip or knee replacement surgery, even after normal healing time. Researchers will assess 100 patients using questionnaires to classify the type of pain they experience. The goal is to b…

This study looks at whether machine learning (a type of artificial intelligence) can accurately predict how long spinal anesthesia lasts in people having knee replacement surgery. Researchers will use patient information like age, surgery details, and anesthesia data to train com…

This study looks at whether the routine one-year follow-up visit and X-ray after total hip or knee replacement is really needed. Researchers will compare patients who have a check-up only when they have concerns versus those who follow the standard yearly schedule. The goal is to…
