Mitigation of Arthrofibrosis After Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Losartan

Обзор

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Losartan use post-operatively for reducing or preventing the development of arthrofibrosis and the associated adverse impacts on clinical outcomes.

Подробное описание

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial proposed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Losartan for reducing or preventing arthrofibrosis and improving patient-reported outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Fibrosis will be evaluated over time after TKA using measures of knee range of motion and capsular thickening.

120 patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty will be recruited from the clinical practice of the Principal Clinical Investigator or his designee at The Steadman Clinic (TSC) and randomized into one of two arms (1:1).
