  • Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing Elective TKA- Multi-center Trial

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing Elective Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Multi-Center Trial is a study that will compare the effectiveness of various perioperative strategies for antibiotic delivery as prophylaxis for periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) and surgical site infection in elective primary TKA. The investigators hypothesize that a single dose of prophylactic antibiotic administered within 60 minutes before the incision is not an effective way to prevent PJI in elective primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators also hypothesize that the prolonged delivery (24 hours) of antibiotic prophylaxis after surgery does not further reduce the incidence of PJI in elective primary TKA. Duke University is the only site recruiting both primary total knee arthroplasty and unilateral knee arthroplasty.

  • Pulmonary Embolism Prevention After Hip and Knee Replacement

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    PEPPER is a randomized study comparing the three most commonly used anticoagulants in North America in patients who have elected to undergo primary or revision hip or knee joint replacement surgery. The anticoagulants being compared are enteric coated aspirin, low intensity warfarin, and rivaroxaban.

  • Continuous Versus Single Injection Adductor Canal Blocks for Outpatient Total Knee Arthroplasty

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    This is a single-center pilot study to determine if an adductor canal continuous nerve block is superior to single injection nerve block following total knee arthroplasty. Investigators will randomize participants to either continuous nerve block or single injection nerve block for the adductor canal preoperatively. They will assess differences in pain (measured in numeric rating scale), opioid consumption, and physical therapy milestones from postoperative day 0 to 7.

  • Dexamethasone in Total Knee Arthroplasty

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to determine the most efficacious and safest dexamethasone dose given intraoperatively during total knee arthroplasty that reduces postoperative opioid consumption and pain, improves postoperative nausea and vomiting, and minimizes postoperative complications.
