Can a novel opioid-free protocol following total knee arthroplasty prevent chronic opioid addiction? A follow-up study of 386 patients.
Studies have shown that there is an approximately 8.2% risk of chronic addiction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using conventional methods to recover from surgery in patients who are opioid-naive (1). A previous study by the authors found that a novel multimodal protocol significantly reduced the use of postoperative TKA opioids in the first 90 days post-op (2). The present study sought to ascertain whether the protocol had persistent effects which led to a lower risk of chronic addiction than that which is currently published.

What to know about tendinitis
Tendinitis — also known as tendonitis — is the inflammation of a tendon. It usually happens when a person overuses or injures a tendon during physical activity.
Use of Robotic-Assisted TKA Has Grown Substantially, Study Finds
Although still representing a small percentage of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures performed in the US, nationwide use of a robotic system for TKA grew more than 2000% between 2010 and 2018, according to recent study from Hospital for Special Surgery.
