Official title
Total Knee Replacement Under Spinal Anesthesia, Comparison of Postoperative Recovery Versus General Anesthesia: A Retrospective Single-Center Observational Comparative Superiority Study
Overview
Intraoperative anesthetic management for total knee replacement (TKR) can be performed under general or spinal anesthesia. These two techniques have their own characteristics and may impact postoperative recovery differently. However, there are no studies in the literature analyzing postoperative functional recovery after TKR surgery according to the type of anesthesia. The objective of this study is to compare postoperative recovery, assessed by the QoR-15F score, in patients undergoing TKR under spinal anesthesia versus surgery under general anesthesia.
Primary outcome measures
- QoR-15F score [Time frame: at Day 1, Day3, Day 14, and Day 28 postoperatively]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female, 18 years of age or older (no upper age limit)

- Assessed using the QoR-15F score
Exclusion criteria
- Subject (and/or their legal representative, if applicable) who expressed their opposition to the reuse of their data for scientific research purposes.
- Revision, emergency, oncological, bilateral, or septic surgery
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
