Economic and Functional Impact of Peri-Operative Bracing for Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Arthropathy of Knee

In brief

While bracing has been shown to be beneficial for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) in terms of function and strength, whether these unloader braces are also similarly beneficial after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery needs to be examined. Therefore the investigators questioned whether wearing a brace that has previously been shown to increase strength and function in OA patients can also increase strength and function in patients after TKA.
