Implementation of a Fast-track Knee Arthroplasty Concept: a Randomized, Controlled, Open Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating local infiltration analgesia and regional-anaesthesiological catheter analgesia for Knee Arthropathy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Mobilisation following knee arthroplasty is an important aspect to achieve early and enhanced recovery after surgery and sufficient joint function. Analgesia is a crucial therapeutic element in this context. This RCT evaluates two analgetic regimens for patients undergoing primary total knee-replacement to assess impact on postoperative recovery.
