A Prospective, Randomized and Controlled Study on Tissue Adhesive for Skin Incision in Total Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Background:The study focusing on the tissue adhesive in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was rare. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and economic costs of tissue adhesive when acting as the adjunct to standard incision closure in TKA. Patients and Methods:From September 2019 to November 2019, we prospectively enrolled the consecutive patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA in our institute. The allocation using the tissue adhesive was done after the subcuticular suture in right knee first and another method was applied in the left knee automatically. The patients' demographics, length of stay (LOS), times of dressing changes and incision-related cost, range of motion (ROM), incision-related complications and incision evaluation scores were recorded. Results:Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study and followed at two months after surgery. In the knees of tissue adhesive, the times of dressing change and patient scar assessment scores (PSAS) were significantly less than those standard skin closure (p=0.000; p=0.003). Although there were no significant differences of the delayed discharge, incision-related cost, ROM, incision-related complications and Vancouver scar score (VSS) between two groups, 65.6% (21/32) patients preferred the tissue adhesive and only 15.6% (5/32) patients preferred the standard incision closure. Conclusion:Tissue adhesive could effectively reduce postoperative wound drainage and improve patients' satisfaction rate with no difference in medical costs and ROM in TKA. The application of tissue adhesive and subcuticular sutures might be one safe and convenient method of skin closure in TKA.

Project description:BackgroundSupercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) arthroplasty has been proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing, with possible superior postoperative outcomes compared with conventional approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, previous studies have underlined the shortcomings of conventional THA approaches, including higher dislocation, more blood loss, longer incisions, more tissue damage, and delayed postoperative rehabilitation. In the present study, we compared the short-term outcomes of unilateral THA with those of SuperPath and the mini-incision posterolateral approach (PLA) for hip osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsPatients with unilateral hip OA were prospectively recruited and underwent either SuperPath (SuperPath group) or mini-incision PLA THA (PLA group). Perioperative status [operative time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay (LOS)], and postoperative function outcomes, including range of motion (ROM), pain visual analog scale (VAS), and Harris Hip Score (HHS), were evaluated and compared between the groups at scheduled time points within 12 months postoperatively.ResultsCompared with the PLA group, the SuperPath group yielded a significantly shorter incision length (7.83 vs. 12.45 cm, P<0.001), longer operative time (102.72 vs. 66.22 min, P<0.001), more blood loss (1,007.38 vs. 844.55 mL, P=0.005), and more soft tissue damage (creatine kinase: 1,056.05 vs. 821.50 U/L, P=0.006) on postoperative day 3. The SuperPath group also showed deficient acetabular cup positioning (abduction angle: 36.94° vs. 42.66°, P=0.004) and a greater decrease in ROM (flexion: 107.66° vs. 114.44°, P=0.004; 109.83° vs. 116.11°, P=0.002; 111.66° vs. 118.88°, P<0.001) on postoperative days 1, 3, and 14, as well as severe early-term pain symptoms (pain VAS on postoperative day 3: 7.05 vs. 6.55, P=0.041). However, the LOS, C-reactive protein levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (within 2 weeks postoperatively), and HHS were comparable between the groups during the 12 months postoperatively.ConclusionsSuperPath may be a promising, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of OA in the future. Further investigation is necessary to evidence the possible superiority of SuperPath over other conventional mini-incision THA approaches.

Project description:Purpose Music therapy is an effective non-pharmacologic intervention that is cost-effective, easy to implement, and customize. It has been shown to significantly alleviate anxiety and improve patient satisfaction. In this study, we aimed to compare music therapy to a control (no music) group with respect to sedation requirements, anxiety levels, and patient satisfaction for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Methods In this randomized controlled study, we compared the effect of music therapy in patients ≥ 18 years old. Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were screened for the study to rule out any contraindications for spinal anesthesia. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio for either the "music" or "control" group. Both groups were compared for sedation requirements, preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels, and patient satisfaction. Results Subjects in the music group had a statistically significant lower than average State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-State baseline score as compared to the control group (music group 31.00 (standard deviation (SD) 1.44), control group 38.04 (SD 2.35); p = 0.01). Postoperative STAI-State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-State scores for the music group were lower for the music group than the control group (music group 28.34 (SD 1.64), control group 32.21 (SD 1.56), p= 0.09). STAI-Trait scores were similar pre-operatively, but significantly less post-operatively in the music group (28.14 SD 1.0) as compared to the control group (34.71 SD 2.31); p = 0.01. Propofol dose per kilogram per surgical minute was similar between the two groups (music group 0.05, control group 0.06; p= 0.264). Patient satisfaction scores with their perioperative experience were higher in the music group (p= 0.009). Conclusions Music therapy may be offered as an alternative to traditional anxiolytics intra-operatively. However further studies are warranted to evaluate whether or not music therapy can decrease sedation and anxiolytic medications during surgery. The type and mode of delivery of music also need to be studied to better understand the impact of music therapy. Clinical trial registry: Clinicaltrials.gov # NCT03569397.
