What the trials found For clinicians

Knee Arthritis: what the trials found

Clinical evidence indicates that specific pharmacological and procedural interventions impact postoperative outcomes for knee arthritis. The use of Amicar was associated with significantly lower total blood loss, fewer transfusions, and less decrease in pre-operative to lowest post-operative hemoglobin levels (p<0.05) 2. Additionally, the administration of Exparel resulted in a shorter hospital length of stay (p<0.05), reduced inpatient opioid use (p<0.05), and significant improvements in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores (p<0.05) 5.

In terms of patient response to specific treatments, a 4 mL injection of Ampion resulted in a significantly higher number of participants classified as responders compared to the control group (p<0.0001) 4. Morphine was evaluated for its impact on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS Jr), showing an increase from pre-operative scores (52.0; 51.4) to two weeks postoperatively (64.0; 71.5) 1.

Other established interventions included Customized Patient Instrumentation 3 and the trumatch group 6.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • Simplex HV/Gentamicin Simplex HV bone cement was evaluated for Knee Society Score (KSS) metrics, including Range of Motion, Pain, and Walking Aids 7.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Amicar is associated with reduced blood loss and fewer transfusions in surgical settings 2.
  • Exparel may reduce hospital stay duration and inpatient opioid consumption while improving pain scores 5.
  • Ampion injections demonstrated a high responder rate in clinical trials 4.
