The Benefits Of Cryoablation In Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Benefits Of Cryoablation In Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty - A Randomized Prospective Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation use on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and opioid consumption following total knee arthroplasty. This is a randomized study that will involve a 1:1 randomization to total knee arthroplasty +/- cryoablation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients are candidates for elective primary total knee arthroplasty for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis.
• Patients have been medically cleared and scheduled for surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with cold-related conditions (cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, cold urticaria, and Raynaud's disease)
