Medial Peel Release Technique TKA Randomized Clinical Trial

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Total Knee Arthroplasty, Osteoarthritis, Knee

In brief

Medial subperiosteal release is a commonly performed technique to improve surgical exposure and aid in joint balancing. This is a routine step during primary total knee arthroplasty that will be conducted on every enrolled patient. This is commonly performed both via scalpel (aka sharp medial peel) or electrocautery. The intervention will be randomly assigning subjects undergoing TKA into two groups, one receiving subperiosteal release using a scalpel (aka sharp medial peel) and the other via electrocautery.
