Introduction: Application of a tourniquet reduces surgical bleeding while causing pain and tourniquet-induced hypertension (TIH). Deeper anesthesia and additional opioids are often insufficient to mitigate TIH but are associated with prolonged recovery and complications. Herein, we describe the protocol for a clinical trial investigating whether intraoperative esketamine infusion would reduce the rate of TIH during below-knee orthopedic surgery.

Introduction: Numerous multimodal pain protocols have been developed to optimize pain control, reduce narcotics consumption, and shorten the length of stay after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) has been postulated to reduce narcotic requirements after arthroplasty but is not without additional cost. The aim of this study was to determine if the addition of LB to our standard periarticular injection would improve postoperative pain and shorten the length of stay in patients undergoing TKA or THA.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback on pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Methods: This randomized, two-group clinical trial included patients with KOA (grades II - III of the Lawrence Kellgren classification) who met the inclusion criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from participants before they were randomly allocated into one of two groups: HILT + therapeutic exercise (group A) or quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback + therapeutic exercise (group B).

Background: Understanding the factors contributing to willingness to participate in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is crucial to optimizing recruitment and understanding whether interested participants represent the patient population that may benefit from the studied treatment.

Purpose: To understand patients' willingness to participate in a future RCT of an oral medication to prevent posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after ACLR.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: Non-invasive treatment options are preferred for managing upper extremity pain due to osteoarthritis (OA). Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (TcPRF) is a promising technique and appears effective in managing knee and shoulder pain.

Objectives: To investigate whether TcPRF treatment is effective in reducing pain and safe to use among patients with OA of the upper extremity.
