Total Knee Replacement Surgery

This is a prospective, randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Suzetrigine, a new pain medication, to well established peri-operative pain regimen used for total knee replacement surgery will effect pain control. 1. Does Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the total opioid consumed after total knee replacement surgery? 2. Dose Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the visual analog pain scale pain scores after total knee replacement surgery? Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Suzetrigine medication or placebo medication.

The overall aims of this prospective, randomised, single-blinded controlled trial are to compare functional, radiological and clinical outcomes in Mako robotic-arm assisted cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) versus Mako robotic-arm assisted cemented TKA.

The aim of this study is to compare the Competency of coupling of IPACK Block with Adductor Canal Block versus Adductor Canal Block Alone on Postoperative Pain after total knee replacement as well as Functional Recovery and Inflammatory Response and range of motion postoperatively.

This study compares the accuracy of two different techniques in placing a total knee replacement. In one technique, accurate instrument placement is facilitated by a robot, and in the other technique, augmented reality is used for correct instrument placement. Both surgical techniques are already commonly used. During both the robotic technique and the augmented reality technique, the additional information (angles - axes) obtained during the operation is used to optimize the placement of the various prosthesis components. Patients that were recently diagnosed with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee can participate in this study. This means that the cartilage of the knee is affected by wear and tear. This causes pain, stiffness and swelling resulting in reduced mobility. When non-operative treatments are insufficient in treating the osteoarthritis, surgery is proposed wherein a knee arthroplasty is performed. The goal of this study is to further optimize and personalize patient care. Additionally, the aim of the study is to investigate whether both techniques are equivalent in optimally placing the prosthesis and whether both techniques lead to comparable results.

The research will be conducted to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on the anxiety level of patients who have had total knee replacement surgery.
