Post-operative Range-of-Motion (ROM)
Time | Motion | Measurement (degrees) | P-value(s) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
LB | PB | Control | LB v C | PB v C | LB v PB | ||
POD#1 | Extension | −7.6 | −7.7 | −8.5 | 0.45 | 0.79 | 1.00 |
Flexion | 82.7 | 80.0 | 66.4 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | 1.00 | |
Discharge | Extension | −5.8 | −6.2 | −4.9 | 0.01 | 0.38 | 1.00 |
Flexion | 87.2 | 89.1 | 85.3 | 1.00 | 0.56 | 1.00 |
Post-operative range-of-motion (ROM) data was recorded for both treatment groups and historical controls. A significant improvement in early motion was noted for both periarticular injection groups, but these differences were not observed at later time points.
