Arthrofibrotic stiffness of the knee joint has been recognized as a highly debilitating complication after complex knee reconstruction. The clinical impact of arthroscopic revision surgery was evaluated for patients with knee arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and after joint preserving procedures. Hypothesis: Arthroscopic revision surgery is associated with functional benefits in both groups. We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of adult patients (#CHR: greaterlike#18 years) at a single institution who underwent arthroscopic revision for knee stiffness. Minimum follow-up: 24 months. The analysis included demographic, surgical and histological data. The following outcome parameters were evaluated: pain (Visual Analog Scale, VAS); objective score systems (Oxford Knee Score) and patient activity (Tegner Activity Scale (TAS), Univ. of California Activity Scale (UCLA)). Furthermore, range of motion (ROM) was compared pre-, intra- and postoperatively. Finally, we compared body mass index (BMI) and quality of life (EQ-5D) changes. We identified a total of 57 patients who underwent arthroscopic adhesiolysis for knee arthrofibrosis: 45 after TKA (Group 1) and 12 patients with ligament reconstruction (Group 2). The patient cohort included thirty (43.5%) males and thirty-six (56.5%) females. Mean age was 69 (SD 10.6) years in the TKA group and 41 (SD 12.7) years in group 2 (p=0.01). Mean length of stay (LOS) was 4.6 days in Group 1 and 2.8 days in Group 2. Pain levels (VAS) were reduced significantly in both groups (p=0.004); from 7.5 to 4.8 in Group 1 and from 7.8 to 2.9 (Group 2). In terms of sports activity, 26 patients (37.7%) reported an improved sports activity (UCLA score). The TAS improved from 2.58 to 4.08 in Group 2. The Oxford Knee Score improved from 23.5 to 27.2 in Group 1 and from 16.5 to 36.3 in Group 2. No reduction in BMI was observed. However, quality of life (EQ-5D) improved from 47.6 to 51.9 Group 1; and from 52.9 to 71.7 in Group 2. Arthroscopic revision of the stiff knee may offer clinical benefits in terms of significant pain reduction, an improved level of activity and quality of life in stiffness following both TKA and joint preserving surgical reconstruction.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative disease in older adults. Treatment strategies, including insoles, focus on reducing pain and physical disability. In medial KOA, insoles have been studied extensively with conflicting results, possibly due to heterogeneity in outcome measures and the intervention. We sought to investigate the effect of custom-made laterally wedged insoles on pain, function, and quality of life in patients with medial KOA. Methods: Fifty-one consecutive patients with medial KOA were prescribed custom-made insoles with arch support and a 5.0° to 8.7° lateral wedge. At follow-up, 42 of the 51 participants (22 men; mean age, 63 years; mean Kellgren-Lawrence, 3.4) participated. Retrospectively, participants were asked to rate the pain intensity in their affected knee before and after the intervention measured on a visual analog scale after 30 min of physical activity (primary outcome), at rest, at night, and after 50 m of walking. Additionally, they completed the Oxford Knee Score and the EQ-5D. The paired-samples t test was applied in the statistics. Results: The visual analog scale score after 30 min of physical activity was significantly reduced after the intervention (mean, 3.3 cm; 95% confidence interval, 2.1–4.5 cm; P < .001). The same significant changes were found in all of the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: There was a significant reduction in pain and improvements in function and quality of life with custom-made laterally wedged insoles with arch support in older adults with mild-to-severe medial KOA. The customization of laterally wedged insoles may be essential for the effect in medial KOA. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 103(1): 50–55, 2013)

In recent years, there is a growing interest in the application of regenerative medicine methods in the treatment of degenerative lesions of the musculoskeletal system. Gonarthrosis is one of the most common reasons for patients to visit to orthopedic traumatologists. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality of life in patients with gonarthrosis at different stages after application of leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (LR-PRP) and leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP). Materials and methods. The results of the treatment of 48 patients with gonarthrosis stages 1-3 according to Kellgren-Lawrence after intra-articularly injection of LR-PRP or LP-PRP were compared. The quality of life questionnaires were used: visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm Knee Score (LKS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) before treatment, after the first injection, every 2 weeks before the end of treatment and every 3 months for 1 year. Results. Evaluation of the treatment results obtained at stages 1 and 2 of gonarthrosis showed a positive result for both groups of patients during 12 months of follow-up and at stage 3 a significant improvement was achieved for up to 6 months. There was no significant difference between the results of LR-PRP and LP-PRP for 9-12 months. When using LP-PRP, the dynamics of quality of life during the year was smoother and more gradual, without periods of regression, while for LR-PRP there was a clear significant short-term reduction in the treatment effect for about 6 months compared to both baseline and values of the previous period at 1 and 2 stages gonarthrosis with further improvement and a stable positive effect for up to 12 months. Conclusions. The application of platelet-rich plasma improved the quality of life for 12 months in patients with stage 1-2 gonarthrosis and for 6 months at stage 3. The obtained positive results substantiate the need for further research to determine the prospects for the application of platelet-rich plasma in the complex treatment of knee osteoarthritis compared to other methods.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment with Peruíbe Black Mud (PBM) on the clinical parameters and quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis and to compare the effects of PBM samples simply matured in seawater and PBM sterilized by gamma radiation. A controlled, double-blind trial was conducted with 41 patients divided into two treatment groups composed of 20 and 21 patients: one group was treated with matured PBM and the other with sterilized PBM. Evaluations were done using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaires, the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) radiographic scale, and the quantification of the serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers. An improvement in pain, physical functions, and quality of life was observed in all of the patients who underwent treatment with both simply matured and sterilized PBM. Nine patients showed remission in the KL radiographic scale, but no statistically significant differences were observed in the serum levels of inflammatory mediators before or after treatment. Peruíbe Black Mud proves to be a useful tool as an adjuvant treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), as shown by the results of the WOMAC and SF-36 questionnaires and by the remission of the radiographic grade of some patients on the Kellgren and Lawrence scale.
