Machine learning outperforms surgeons in predicting knee replacement outcomes
5 December 2024
A new study has revealed that machine learning models can significantly outperform experienced surgeons in predicting patient outcomes after partial knee replacement.
What frozen shoulder can teach us about knee arthrofibrosis
12 September 2023
Arthrofibrosis is the build-up of too much scar tissue (fibrosis) after an injury or surgery resulting in a stiffening of a joint and causing pain and disability. It’s common following knee replacement for osteoarthritis where 1 in 4 affected patients require additional surgery to correct the fibrosis and restore motion in the knee joint.
Going straight to surgery found to be better than undergoing rehabilitation first for longstanding anterior cruciate ligament injury
23 August 2022
New research, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), shows initial surgery to be more successful and cost effective than undergoing treatment with rehabilitation first to treat longstanding anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Liposomal bupivacaine found to be no more effective than current treatments for post-operative knee pain
6 April 2022
A new study published in JAMA, has found that a drug recently licensed in the UK has no effect on post-operative knee replacement recovery or pain, compared to the current treatment when administered at site of surgery.
New research reveals link between ankle pain and onset of knee osteoarthritis
16 November 2021
A new study published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open could help improve the lives of people at risk of developing knee osteoarthritis.
Size does matter
2 November 2020
Researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Nottingham and Zhejiang have found that the precise measurement of joint lining inflammation corresponds well with osteoarthritic knee pain. It's even better when size of the joint is taken into consideration and this should be considered when examining treatment effects in clinical trials.
Knee OA guidance for clinicians simplified and streamlined
28 October 2020
Researchers review the similarities and differences between OARSI and ESCEO 2019 guidelines for the management of knee OA and provide a narrative to help steer health-care providers through the complexities of non-surgical management of the disease.
Pain trajectory defines knee osteoarthritis subgroups
13 August 2020
Researchers at NDORMS have identified four subgroups of knee osteoarthritis which will improve patient treatment and drug development.
Researchers identify markers in joint fluid that could be the key to cartilage repair
9 March 2020
Molecular changes in the joint fluid during surgical joint distraction reveal markers that may drive cartilage repair in osteoarthritis.
Study reveals ‘postcode lottery’ for hip and knee replacement physiotherapy
5 December 2019
Post-operation physiotherapy following hip and knee replacement varies significantly across the UK according to new research by Dr Toby Smith, leading to a ‘postcode lottery’ for patients.
Largest study of its kind provides real-world evidence of the benefits of partial versus total knee replacement
8 November 2019
Opioid use and additional post-operative complications have been shown to be reduced when partial knee replacement is used over surgery where the whole of the joint is replaced.
Increased use of partial knee replacement could save the NHS £30 million per year
17 July 2019
New research from a randomised clinical trial published today in The Lancet and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) shows that partial knee replacements (PKR) are as good as total knee replacements (TKR), whilst being more cost effective.
Research for better shared decision-making in knee surgery
25 September 2018
New research by a team at the University of Oxford and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre and published today in The Lancet provides robust basis for informed shared decision-making and consent on keyhole knee surgery.
