Can a simple shot unlock stiff knees after surgery?
NCT ID NCT04082533
Summary
This study is testing if giving an intravenous steroid (hydrocortisone) right after a total knee replacement helps patients bend and straighten their knee better later on. It involves 132 patients who will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo (saltwater) shot. Researchers will track their knee movement, pain levels, and recovery for up to two years to see if the steroid makes a lasting difference.
