About this study

Official title: Single-center Retrospective Study on Safety of Total Knee Replacement Surgery Before and After the Implementation of Enhanced Recovery Program

The objectives are to describe the transition from traditional care to an enhanced recovery program for the management of total knee arthroplasty, and to evaluate the effect on patient outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Enhanced recovery programs are an organizational evolution in surgical patient management, in which the patient becomes an actor of his or her own recovery. This multimodal approach aims at optimizing patient physiological and psychological states across preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative domains of care.

At la Rochelle hospital, the decision to take the step happened at the end of 2016. It was proposed by a young surgeon that have been trained on this new approach during his studies and who convinced the head of the surgery department of the benefits for the patients, the healthcare workers, and the institution. The transition took place in two stages, first operative and postoperative techniques were modified, and then preoperative education and counselling were added.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients With Early Complication

    Recorded complications were Bleeding, Deep periprosthetic joint infection, Implant fracture, Instability, Patellofemoral dislocation, Readmission, Reoperation, Revision, Stiffness, Thromboembolic disease, Tibiofemoral dislocation, Vascular injury, Wound complication.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Patients With Late Complication

    Recorded complications were Bleeding, Deep periprosthetic joint infection, Implant fracture, Instability, Patellofemoral dislocation, Readmission, Reoperation, Revision, Stiffness, Thromboembolic disease, Tibiofemoral dislocation, Vascular injury, Wound complication.

    Measured: up to 28 months after surgery

  2. Length of Hospital Stay

    the time between admission for an operation and discharge from the hospital

    Measured: up to 1 month after surgery

  3. Preoperative Knee Extension

    Measure in degree of how much the knee straightens during consultation with surgeon

    Measured: up to 1 month before surgery

  4. Postoperative Knee Extension

    Measure in degree of how much the knee straightens during consultation with surgeon

    Measured: At 3 months after surgery

  5. Preoperative Knee Flexion

    Measure in degree of how much the knee bends during consultation with surgeon

    Measured: up to 1 month before surgery

  6. Postoperative Knee Flexion

    Measure in degree of how much the knee bends during consultation with surgeon

    Measured: At 3 months after surgery
