Telerehabilitation following fast-track total knee arthroplasty is effective and safe: a randomized controlled trial with the ReHub® platform.

Purpose: After a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), ensuring rehabilitation is continued at home is essential for a successful recovery. The aim of this randomized clinical trial (NCT04155957) was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of an interactive telerehabilitation system (ReHub®) to guide and provide feedback during exercise in the postoperative period of a fast-track TKA program.

Methods: Fifty-two patients who underwent TKA were randomized to intervention ( = 26) or control ( = 26).

Prevention of postoperative bleeding in hip fractures treated with prosthetic replacement: efficacy and safety of fibrin sealant and tranexamic acid. A randomised controlled clinical trial (TRANEXFER study).

Introduction: We assessed the efficacy of fibrin sealant (FS) and tranexamic acid (TXA) administered topically in patients with a hip fracture treated with prosthetic replacement.

Materials And Methods: Parallel, multicentre, open label, randomised, clinical trial. We compared three interventions to reduce blood loss: (1) 10 ml of FS, (2) 1 g of topical TXA, both administered at the end of the surgery, and (3) usual haemostasis (control group).

Treatment strategy for tibial plateau fractures: an update.

Tibial plateau fractures are complex injuries produced by high- or low-energy trauma. They principally affect young adults or the 'third age' population.These fractures usually have associated soft-tissue lesions that will affect their treatment.
