About this study

The purpose of the study: is to quantify the amount of post-operative effusion or hematoma present after total knee arthroplasty pre-operatively, post-operative day #0,1.

Patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty will undergo an MRI on the operative knee at the following times:

  • Pre-operatively
  • Post-operative day #1 (approximately 16-20 hours post op)
  • Post-operative day #2 (approximately 36-40 hours post op) This will be conducted by the Loma Linda radiology department as per normal protocols. No special imaging procedures will be undertaken.

Subjects will be both male and females, they will be patients from the Principle Investigator and Co-Investigators practice. Subjects will be between the ages of 18-89 years of age.

The total participation will last approximately 30 days.

Subject selection will be approximately 10 English speaking, both male and female between the ages of 18 to 89 years of age. Subjects will be recruited from the Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators clinic. There will be no advertising or electronic recruiting. The study is expected to last 12 months.

STUDY DESIGN:

Background or rationale for this study:

Total knee arthroplasty is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries performed in the United States, and consistently has shown to have excellent outcomes for patients, with low complication rates. However, when complications do happen, they can range from superficial infection to repeated deep infection requiring prosthesis exchange or amputation. Another significant complication of total knee arthroplasty is joint stiffness. Range of motion loss can also be an extremely debilitating complication necessitating prolonged physical therapy, return to the operating theater for manipulation or even total synovectomy and polyethylene exchange.

Although it is currently known that post-operative hematoma leads to adverse outcomes following total knee arthroplasty, there is currently no literature to quantify the average size or progression of the intra-articular bleeding post operatively. It would be reasonable to assume that all patients develop a slight hematoma post operatively. The investigator aims to assess the size, and possible progression of the intra-articular hematoma following total knee arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVES:

The investigator aims to:

Quantify the amount of post-operative effusion or hematoma present after total knee arthroplasty pre-operatively, post-operative day #0, 1.

Procedures involved (Research Interventions)

Patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty will undergo an MRI of the operative knee at the following times:

  • Pre-operatively
  • Post-operative day #1 (approximately 16-20 hours post op)
  • Post-operative day #2 (approximately 36-40 hours post op)

This will be conducted by the Loma Linda radiology department as per normal protocols. No special imaging procedures will be undertaken.

No changes in operative technique or post-operative protocol will be undertaken due to study apart from the above imaging.

All imaging will be kept on the LLUMC PACS system. Concise review of literature that supports the rationale, objectives, and methodology of the proposed study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Participants with total knee arthroplasty assessed for intra-articular hematoma

    MRI studies will be reviewed on these participants pre-operatively and postoperatively. Data will be analyzed using the Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software and paired T-Test will be utilized for significance regarding the effusion post operatively.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematoma, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Participants with total knee arthroplasty assessed for intra-articular hematoma (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2018.
