Effect of Preoperative Intravenous High Dose Methylprednisolone on Complement Activation in Patients Scheduled for Total Knee-arthroplasty
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Methylprednisolone and Isotonic Sodium Chloride for Osteoarthrosis. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the pathophysiological effects of a single dose of methylprednisolone administered prior to total knee-arthroplasty surgery. The investigators examine the effect on complement activation. Half of participants will receive intravenous Solu-Medrol 125 mg, while the other half will receive placebo. The investigators hypothesize that the group receiving methylprednisolone will experience beneficial inhibition of the undesirable parts of the complement activation.
