KNEE DISEASE

This study looked at how well a special knee replacement (MUTARS) works after removing bone cancer. Nine patients were checked to see if they could lock their new knee and walk actively. The goal was to understand if the prosthesis helps with daily movement and walking.

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called [F-18]MHF to see if it can detect infections around knee implants using PET scans. Researchers will compare the tracer's uptake in infected versus non-infected implants in 18 adults. The goal is to improve diagnosis and reduce unne…

This study looked at 60 people having knee replacement surgery to compare two types of nerve blocks for pain relief: the adductor canal block and the pericapsular nerve group block. The goal was to see which one provides better pain control and helps patients feel more comfortabl…

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (erector spinae plane block) improves pain control after total knee replacement. 90 adults undergoing knee surgery received one of the two drugs or a placebo alongside the nerve block. Res…

This study tested different volumes of an ultrasound-guided nerve block (adductor canal block) to manage pain after total knee replacement. 90 adults scheduled for knee replacement under spinal anesthesia received one of two volumes. The goal was to see which volume reduces opioi…

This study tested a special nerve block called the parasartorial compartment block to see if it reduces pain after knee surgery. Sixty adults having knee surgery under spinal anesthesia received the block plus standard painkillers. Researchers measured pain scores and how much ex…
