Imageless Navigation Versus Image-Based Navigation in Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty for Knee Osteoarthritis

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if imageless navigation is not inferior to image-based navigation in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) for treating patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Does imageless procedure provide functional results comparable to those of image-based navigation? 2. Are there differences in postoperative complications patients may experience after RA-TKA with imageless and image-based navigation? Researchers will compare imageless navigation with image-based navigation used in total knee arthroplasty to assess whether imageless navigation is comparable for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Participants will: 1. Answer survey questions about knee pain and function before RA-TKA. 2. Undergo RA-TKA with imageless navigation or image-based navigation. 3. Visit the Clinic after 6 months and 12 months after surgery for checkups and to answer the same survey questions about postoperative knee pain and function.

Manual Traction and Rehabilitation After Knee Replacement Surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the addition of manual traction to a standard rehabilitation protocol improves early recovery after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in women aged 50-75 years with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the addition of manual traction reduce postoperative pain during the first four weeks after TKA? * Does manual traction improve physical function, knee range of motion, patient-reported knee function, and health-related quality of life compared with standard rehabilitation alone? * Does manual traction reduce the need for analgesic medication during the early postoperative rehabilitation period? Researchers will compare participants receiving manual traction plus standard rehabilitation with participants receiving sham traction plus the same standard rehabilitation protocol to determine whether manual traction provides additional clinical benefits during early rehabilitation after TKA. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the manual traction group or the sham traction (control) group. * Receive a standardized rehabilitation program for four weeks after surgery, with the intervention group receiving manual traction and the control group receiving sham traction. * Attend supervised rehabilitation sessions five times per week throughout the four-week intervention period. * Complete validated questionnaires assessing pain, knee function, joint awareness, and health-related quality of life at predefined assessment time points. * Undergo standardized clinical assessments of knee range of motion and physical function before surgery, before rehabilitation, during follow-up, and one month after surgery. * Have their analgesic medication use recorded throughout the rehabilitation period.

Total Intravenous Anesthesia vs Spinal Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Unilateral Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to compare same-day discharge rates and recovery outcomes across an adult patient population undergoing elective Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), and randomized to receive either spinal block anesthesia or Total IntraVenous Anesthesia (TIVA). Primary Aim: assess same-day discharge rates between study arms (TIVA vs spinal). Secondary Aim: Postoperative comparison of recovery during PostOperative Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) admission, diagnostic assessment scores; outcomes related to cognition, hemodynamic stability, pain, nausea and vomiting; analysis of IntraOperative electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring metrics, e.g., total suppression time, average Bi-spectral Index monitor (BIS) value, Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF); ability for Physical Therapy (PT) evaluation prior to discharge; longterm-followup (LTFU), hospital readmission, return to surgery, etc.; adverse event (AE) monitoring.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis in Patients Undergoing Primary Elective Arthroplasty

The aim of this observational study is to determine content of rare metals and other elements, along with the levels of selected immunological parameters, in the tissue of the hip or knee joint in the course of degenerative diseases. Determining potential disturbances in the levels or functions of these parameters may in the future contribute to improving treatment - for example, through supplementation of deficient metals or modulation at the immunological level. The main question it aims to answer is: Are selected rare metals, trace elements and other selected immunological parameters lowered in the tissue of the hip or knee joint as well as in serum in the course of osteoarthritis?

Nalbuphine Timing Effects on Hemodynamics and Analgesia in Elderly Patients

In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the use of a tourniquet and controlled hypotension is common. However, ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by the tourniquet and inappropriate controlled hypotension can lead to cardiac and cerebral damage in patients. Consequently, maintaining hemodynamic stability, ensuring adequate cerebral perfusion, and achieving controlled blood pressure during the perioperative period are critical factors influencing patient outcomes. Postoperatively, patients typically experience moderate to severe pain. Severe postoperative pain can result in prolonged hospital stays, increased readmission rates, elevated opioid consumption, and associated nausea and vomiting. Therefore, exploring effective multimodal postoperative pain management strategies is essential. Nalbuphine, an opioid analgesic acting as a full kappa-receptor agonist and a partial mu-receptor antagonist, is considered to provide analgesic efficacy equivalent to morphine while potentially offering advantages in maintaining hemodynamic stability. This study aims to investigate the effects of administering equivalent doses of nalbuphine at different perioperative time points on analgesia and hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
