Those with knee discomfort who take the common class of blood pressure-lowering drugs known as beta-blockers appear to have a lower risk of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis (OA), according to a new study.
Research found that patients receiving bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have a higher risk of numerous types of problems than comparable individuals undergoing unilateral TKA.
A study published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery found that patients receiving bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have a higher risk of numerous types of problems than matched individuals undergoing unilateral TKA.
A combination of intravenous and periarticular corticosteroids did not enhance pain control in patients having total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but may improve important measures of functional recovery in the days after surgery, according to a study.
