About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Trial Regarding the Implementation of a Rapid Recovery Protocol in Total Knee Arthroplasty in Rio Hortega University Hospital

Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty will follow two different rehabilitation protocols. In one of them, they will start walking the day of surgery and discharged on a 48 hours basis. On the other one, start walking 3 days after surgery and discharged on a 96 hours basis. Outcomes will be satisfaction, pain, range of movement, incidence of DVT and overall complications.

Read the detailed description

Randomization will be performed concealed the day before surgery. Tranexamic acid will be used in both groups. Rapid recovery group will not be using a drain, whereas the standard protocol group will have one.

  3. Ultrasonography incidence of deep vein thrombosis

    Incidence of deep vein thrombosis measured by ultrasound

    Measured: 4 weeks-8 weeks

  4. Overall score given by the patient to the knee replacement process

    Satisfaction with the protocol. Subjective measure by the patient from 0 (bad) to 10 (best) with the surgery process.

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?

Pain: Morphine clorhydrate shots requested by the patient (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
