[PMID: 38404194 PMCID: PMC10984807 DOI: 10.1111/os.14008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the advantages of robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (raTKA) over conventional manual TKA (cmTKA) by comprehensively comparing patients who received raTKA and cmTKA in terms of postoperative pain, function, imaging assessment, and trauma to the body. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of raTKA in patients using the YUANHUA-TKA system. METHODS In a prospective, randomized single-blind trial, 60 patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA from October 2020 to December 2020 were randomly assigned to either raTKA or cmTKA. Clinical evaluation, including the time of osteotomy and prosthesis model testing, the total operation time, the visual analogue scale at rest, VAS in motion, opioid consumption, white blood cell count, neutrophil ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein (CRP), passive and active range of motion (pROM, aROM), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC [stiffness, pain, and function]) score, gait analysis, keen society score (KSS), adverse events, and blood loss were collected by the project nurse, as well as the imaging evaluation, including the lateral tibia component angle (LTC), frontal femoral component angle, frontal tibia component angle (FTC), lateral femoral component angl, and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA). The student t-test (or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test) and the χ2-test (or the Fisher exact test) were used to determine differences in categorical variables. RESULTS No significant difference was found between the two groups in pain throughout the whole follow-up period. On the third day postoperatively, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the cmTKA group was significantly higher (p = 0.02), as well as the CRP (p = 0.04). No significant difference was found in the WOMAC stiffnes score or pROM. However, the aROM and the flexion range when walking (FRW) were significantly better in the raTKA group throughout the trial (p < 0.05). The KSS at the 1-month follow-up and the WOMAC function score at the 1-year follow-up were both significantly better in the raTKA group (p < 0.05). The HKA and the LTC in the raTKA group closer to the ideal angle, and the difference between the groups was significant (p < 0.05). The total operation time of the raTKA group was significantly longer (p = 0.001). The intraoperative blood loss had no significant difference in the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with cmTKA, raTKA with the YUANHUA robot not only avoids extra pain and trauma in patients but promises better functional recovery and improves the accuracy of the prosthesis position and axial alignment reconstruction.

Abstract
Total Knee Arthroplasty is associated with significant postoperative pain that can limit functional outcomes and patient satisfaction. In recent years, the standard of care for postoperative pain management has reduced reliance on opioids in favor of multimodal analgesia. These regimens consist of systemic medications such as COX-2 inhibitors, acetaminophen, corticosteroids, and gabapentinoids, as well as regional and local approaches such as peripheral nerve blocks and local infiltrative analgesics. Newer therapies, such as cryoneurolysis, are still being studied but have shown promising results. Additional studies are needed to determine the ideal pain regimen that will optimize pain control and eliminate the need for postoperative opioids.

Abstract
Reducing pain and opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an important perioperative consideration. Though commonly used, the combined influence of tourniquets and adductor canal blocks (ACBs) on pain and opioid consumption is unknown. This study evaluated inpatient opioid consumption and pain between patients with TKA based on tourniquet and/or ACB use. Pain and opioid consumption were highest when a tourniquet, but no ACB was used, and lowest when an ACB, but no tourniquet was used - though absolute differences in pain scores were not clinically significant. Tourniquet and ACB use should be considered as part of TKA opioid-sparing protocols.

Tramadol Provides Similar Pain Relief and a Better Side Effect Profile than Oxycodone (or Hydrocodone) Alone or in Combination With Tramadol After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction or Arthroscopic Knee Debridement. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2023; 5:e765-e771. [PMID: 37388889 PMCID: PMC10300592 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2023.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate whether tramadol provides similar postoperative pain relief after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery or arthroscopic debridement surgery compared to oxycodone (or hydrocodone) or a combination of tramadol and oxycodone. Methods Patients over the age of 14 undergoing ACL surgery or arthroscopic debridement surgery performed by the same surgeon were provided a postoperative pain diary over the first 10 postoperative days. Patients were either provided tramadol, oxycodone (or hydrocodone), or a combination of tramadol in addition to oxycodone (or hydrocodone). Pain scores were measured on visual analog scale (VAS), including average pain, maximum pain, and minimum pain throughout the day. Additionally, side effects and number of over-the-counter analgesics were recorded. Results 121 patient surveys were reviewed. Tramadol alone for ACL with autograft provided lower average pain scores on postoperative day 1-3 (VAS 3.3 vs oxycodone 6.1 and hybrid of 5.1) with lowest maximum pain on postoperative day 1 (VAS 5.3 vs oxycodone 6.6 and hybrid 5.1) and the lowest number of average nights awakened by knee pain (3.6 vs oxycodone 6.0 and hybrid 8.5). Tramadol alone provided the lowest number of days of constipation (3 vs oxycodone 4.68 and hybrid 4.08), nausea (0.42 vs oxycodone 1.48 and hybrid 1.72), and dizziness (0.68 vs oxycodone 0.84 vs hybrid 1.28). Individual medication group breakdown of ACL surgery with allograft, as well as arthrosopic knee debridements did not have a large enough quantity to have three separate comparison groups. Conclusions Tramadol provides similar, and in most cases better, pain relief for ACL reconstruction and arthroscopic knee debridements compared to oxycodone (or hydrocodone) alone or a combination of tramadol with oxycodone (or hydrocodone), while providing a lower side-effect profile. Clinical Relevance Alternative analgesic therapies outside of traditional opioids (like oxycodone and hydrocodone) are lacking in popularity or reputation. This retrospective comparative study cohort evaluation can help provide clinicians an alternative analgesic therapy for various knee surgeries that have comparable pain relief with less addictive properties and less side effects.

Abstract
Degenerative knee osteoarthritis is a progressive debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Most patients experience limited range of motion, inflammation, swelling, and pain. Management options can lead to short- and long-term pain relief. Short-term pain relief usually involves conservative medical treatments such as NSAIDs, weight loss, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. The ultimate long-term pain relief treatment method involves total knee arthroplasty. The treatment algorithm for knee OA also includes managing pain until a patient is eligible for arthroplasty. Furthermore, about 20% of patients experience chronic pain after TKA without complications such as hardware loosening and infection with limited treatment options. The pathophysiology of this is unknown. Cooled radiofrequency ablation has been demonstrated to be clinically effective by disrupting the integrity of deep sensory nerves and hence interfering with transmission of pain signal. The analgesic effect after c-RFA has been reported up to 24 months. Here, we present an overview of the clinical application of cooled radiofrequency ablation and a summary of its effectiveness in the treatment of pain in the setting of advanced OA and symptomatic TKA.

Positive Preemptive Analgesia Effectiveness of Pregabalin Combined with Celecoxib in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Controlled Randomized Study. Pain Res Manag 2023; 2023:7088004. [PMID: 36686371 PMCID: PMC9851777 DOI: 10.1155/2023/7088004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Objective The purpose of the present study (a randomized clinical trial) was to evaluate the preemptive analgesic effects of pregabalin combined with celecoxib in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods From January 2019 to June 2021, we enrolled 149 patients who underwent TKA and divided them into four groups: the placebo group (n = 36), celecoxib group (n = 38), pregabalin group (n = 38), and combination group (n = 37). Each group was given the corresponding preemptive analgesia regimen at 12 and 2 hours before surgery. The pain score at rest and upon movement, cumulative dosage of sufentanil, knee range of motion (ROM), high-sensitivityC-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level, and adverse effects were evaluated after TKA to compare the effects of the preemptive analgesia regimens among the four groups. Results The pain scores upon movement were significantly lower in the combination group than in the other three groups at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery (P < 0.05). The cumulative dose of sufentanil within 48 hours after surgery was lowest in the combined group among the four groups (P < 0.05). Hs-CRP, ROM, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were within 72 hours after surgery significantly improved in the combination group compared with those of the three other groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The preemptive analgesia regimen of pregabalin combined with celecoxib had positive effects on improving acute pain and reducing the cumulative dose of opioids after TKA. This trial is registered with ChiCTR2100041595.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to introduce cooled radiofrequency ablation technical feasibility as an alternative percutaneous image-guided treatment of chronic pain and stiffness in the setting of uncomplicated total knee arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHOD This retrospective pilot study includes a total of 19 consecutive patients experiencing persistent chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty, without underlying hardware complications who had failed conservative care. Patients initially underwent anesthetic blocks of the genicular nerve branches to determine C-RFA candidacy. After adequate response to the anesthetic blocks (> 50% immediate pain relief), patients were subjected to cooled radiofrequency ablations 2-3 weeks later. Treatment response was evaluated utilizing clinically validated questionnaires (KOOS, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and visual analog scale (VAS) to assess pain severity, stiffness, functional activities of daily living, and use of pain medication. Follow-up outcome scores were collected up to 1 year after C-RFA procedure. RESULT A total of 21 knees were treated consecutively between 4/2019 and 1/2020 (mean age 70.5 years; 5 M:14F). The mean total KOOS score improved significantly from baseline at 35.0 ± 14.0 to 64.2 ± 14.7 at a mean of 10.2 months after treatment (p < 0.0001), with significant improvement in mean stiffness score from 44.8 ± 16.7 to 68.8 ± 20 (p < 0.0001). The mean VAS score improved significantly from baseline at 8.30 ± 1.1 to 2.45 ± 1.8 (p < 0.0001). No major complications were encountered. No patients went on to receive re-treatment, surgical revision, or other intervention. CONCLUSION Image-guided genicular nerve cooled radiofrequency ablation offers a promising alternative in treating chronic pain/stiffness in the setting of uncomplicated TKA.

[PMID: 35279155 PMCID: PMC8917721 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05194-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To investigate the analgesic effect of perioperative use of duloxetine in patients received total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Method This prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000033910). 100 patients were finally enrolled. The hospital pharmacy prepared small capsules containing either duloxetine or starch (placebo) which were all identical in appearance and weight (50:50). The 100 enrolled patients were given a capsule (containing either 60 mg duloxetine or 60 mg placebo) every night before sleep since preoperative day 2 till postoperative day 14 (17 days in all) by a nurse who were not involved in this trial. Other perioperative managements were the same in the two groups. The primary outcome was the VAS score, including rVAS (visual analogue scale at rest) and aVAS (visual analogue scale upon ambulation) throughout the perioperative period. The secondary outcomes included opioid consumption, range of motion, including both active range of motion (aROM) and passive range of motion (pROM) and adverse events. The patients were followed up everyday until 7 days after TKA, afterwards, they were followed up at the time of 3 weeks and 3 months after TKA. Result rVAS in duloxetine group were significantly less than placebo group throughout the postoperative period: 4.7 ± 2.3 vs 5.9 ± 2.6 (P = 0.016) at 24 h postoperative; 2.1 ± 1.6 vs 2.8 ± 1.7 (P = 0.037) at 7 days postoperative. In terms of aVAS, similarly, duloxetine group had less aVAS than placebo group throughout the postoperative period: 6.2 ± 2.1 vs 7.1 ± 2.2 (P = 0.039) at 24 h postoperative; 3.3 ± 1.7 vs 4.1 ± 2.0 (P = 0.034) at 7 days postoperative. Patients in duloxetine group consumed significantly less opioids per day than the placebo group: 24.2 ± 10.1 g vs 28.5 ± 8.3 g (P = 0.022) at 24 h postoperative; 2.7 ± 2.5 g vs 4.1 ± 2.6 g (P = 0.007) at 7 days postoperative. aROM in duloxetine group were significantly better than placebo group until postoperative day 6, the aROM became comparable between the two groups: 110.2 ± 9.9° in duloxetine group vs 107.5 ± 11.5° in control group (P = 0.211). In terms of pROM, duloxetine group had significantly better pROM until postoperative day 5, the pROM became comparable between the two groups: 103.8 ± 12.1° in duloxetine group vs 99.5 ± 10.8° in control group (P = 0.064). No significant difference was found between the two groups in the rates of dizziness, bleeding, sweating, fatigue and dryness of mouth. In the placebo group, more patients got nausea/vomiting and constipation (P < 0.05). However, in terms of drowsiness, duloxetine group was reported higher rate (P < 0.05). Conclusion Several other RCTs have already mentioned the analgesic effect of duloxetine, but not in the immediate postoperative period. In this study, we found duloxetine could reduce acute postoperative pain in the immediate postoperative period and decrease the opioids consumption as well as accelerating postoperative recovery, without increasing the risk of adverse medication effects in patients undergoing TKA. Duloxetine could act as a good supplement in multimodal pain management protocol for patients undergoing TKA. Trial registration statement This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000033910). The date of registration was 06/16/2020.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common orthopedic surgery performed with a projected 3.5 million procedures to be done by 2030. Current postoperative pain management for TKA is insufficient, as it results in extensive opioid consumption and functional decline postoperatively. This study identifies the best practices for postoperative TKA pain management through a literature review of the last three years. Studies utilizing interventional techniques (local infiltration analgesia, nerve blocks) and pharmacologic options were reviewed on PubMed, Embase, Ovid Medline and Scopus. Primary outcomes analyzed were the effect of different analgesic approaches on pain reduction, opioid use reduction and improvements in functional mobility or quadriceps strength postoperatively. Additionally, this paper explores the use of cooled radiofrequency ablation, a minimally invasive therapy, for preoperative and postoperative TKA pain management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative pain associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is severe for most patients. The analgesic efficacy and safety of preoperative use of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors for patients undergoing TKA are unclear. OBJECTIVES We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether the use of selective COX-2 inhibitors before TKA decreases the postoperative pain intensity. METHODS Data sources: The PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials databases from inception to January 2020. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which the intervention treatment was preoperative selective COX-2 vs placebo in patients undergoing TKA and that had at least one of the quantitative outcomes mentioned in the following section of this paper were included. Letters, review articles, case reports, editorials, animal experimental studies, and retrospective studies were excluded. INTERVENTIONS All RCTs in which the intervention treatment was preoperative selective COX-2 vs placebo in patients undergoing TKA. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS The quality of the RCTs was quantified using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. RevMan 5.3 software was used for the meta-analysis. RESULTS Six RCTs that had enrolled a total of 574 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The visual analog scale pain score at rest was significantly different between the experimental group and control group at 24 hours (P < .05) and 72 hours (P < .05) postoperatively. The experimental group exhibited a significant visual analog scale pain score during flexion at 24 hours postoperatively (P < .05), and it was not different at 72 hours postoperatively (P = .08). There was a significant difference in opioid consumption (P < .05), but there was no difference in the operation time (P = .24) or postoperative nausea/vomiting (P = .64) between the groups. CONCLUSION The efficacy of preoperative administration of selective COX-2 inhibitors to reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption after TKA is validated.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common surgeries performed to relieve joint pain in patients with end‐stage osteoarthritis or rheumatic arthritis of the knee. However, TKA is followed by moderate to severe postoperative pain that affects postoperative rehabilitation, patient satisfaction, and overall outcomes. Historically, opioids have been widely used for perioperative pain management of TKA. However, opioids are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as nausea, respiratory depression, and retention of urine, which limit their application in daily clinical practice. The aim of this review was to discuss the current postoperative pain management regimens for TKA. Our review of the literature demonstrated that multimodal analgesia is considered the optimal regimen for perioperative pain management of TKA and improves clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction, through a combination of several types of medications and delivery routes, including preemptive analgesia, neuraxial anesthesia, peripheral nerve blockade, patient‐controlled analgesia and local infiltration analgesia, and oral opioid/nonopioid medications. Multimodal analgesia provides superior pain relief, promotes recovery of the knee, and reduces opioid consumption and related adverse effects in patients undergoing TKA.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is regarded as the most effective surgery for patients with later-stage arthritis of the knee, but the postoperative pain management for functional improvement of the knew is still a challenging task. This review discusses the mechanism by which the selective cyclooxyenase-2 inhibitors, which reduce the peripheral and central sensitization, decrease pain after TKA. This review also covers the protocols, safety, efficacy, and progress of cyclooxyenase-2 inhibitors in pre-emptive analgesia.

Liu J, Wang F. Preoperative celecoxib analgesia is more efficient and equally tolerated compared to postoperative celecoxib analgesia in knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: A randomized, controlled study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2018; 97:e13663. [PMID: 30572485 PMCID: PMC6320042 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000013663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Revised: 11/20/2018] [Accepted: 11/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative celecoxib administration in alleviating postoperative pain in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).A total of 226 knee OA patients underwent TKA were consecutively recruited and randomized into preoperative analgesia group and postoperative analgesia group as 1:1 ratio. Preoperative analgesia group received celecoxib before and post operation; postoperative analgesia group received celecoxib post operation, all patients received TKA and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) post operation. Pain visual analog scale (VAS), patient's global assessment (PGA), flexional angles, PCA consumption, percentage of patients receiving pethidine, pethidine consumption, and adverse events were assessed.Pain VAS scores at rest and at flexion were both lower in preoperative analgesia group compared to postoperative analgesia group at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours post operation. Preoperative analgesia group also exhibited decreased PGA score compared to postoperative analgesia group at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours post operation. Meanwhile, active flexional angle and passive flexional angle in preoperative analgesia group were larger than that in postoperative analgesia group at 72 hours post operation. More interestingly, preoperative analgesia group patients consumed less PCA compared to postoperative analgesia group patients at 72 hours post operation. No difference of adverse event incidences between 2 groups was observed.Preoperative administration of celecoxib exhibits better efficacy and equal safety profiles compared to postoperative administration of celecoxib in knee OA patients undergoing TKA.
