Rural Teaching

Background:Indian population is mainly residing in two areas- urban and rural. The literature has shown consistent results following knee joint replacement surgeries, however these studies have been done in highly efficient and equipped hospitals in urban areas. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare outcome at a rural set-up with those at a high-end teaching or corporate hospital in urban set-up from published literature. Materials and Methods: This study was an observational and retrospective analysis. Observation data was collected from January, 2020 and April, 2021. This study included follow-up of 60 total knee joint replacements. Results: In our study of total knee joint replacement surgeries in rural teaching set- up, we achieved 95.39% results (excellent) while the remaining 4.61% results were good. Conclusion: This study confirmed that results of total knee replacement are comparable to any other highly well equipped urban center, if all basic surgical principles including aseptic precautions are stringently followed-up. Further the clinical outcomes in our cases was more surgeon dependent rather than technology dependent as all surgeries were performed by one single surgeon.

Background: Postoperative pain after major knee surgery can be severe. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of epidural analgesia and peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) in patients undergoing total knee joint replacement (TKR). Moreover, we aimed to compare outcomes of adductor canal block (ACB) with those of femoral nerve block (FNB) after TKR. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of electronic information sources, including MEDLINE; EMBASE; CINAHL; and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). We applied a combination of free text and controlled vocabulary search adapted to thesaurus headings, search operators, and limits in each of the above databases. Pain intensity assessed on visual analogue scale (VAS), nausea and vomiting, systolic hypotension, and urinary retention was the reported outcome parameters. Results: We identified 12 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing outcomes of epidural analgesia and PNB reporting a total of 670 patients. There was no significant difference between two groups in VAS scores at 0–12 h (MD -0.48; 95% CI -1.07–0.11, P = 0.11), 12–24 h (MD 0.04; 95% CI -0.81–0.88, P = 0.93), and 24–48 h (MD 0.16; 95% CI -0.08–0.40, P = 0.19). However, epidural analgesia was associated with significantly higher risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (RR 1.65; 95% CI, 1.20–2.28, P = 0.002), hypotension (RR 1.76; 95% CI, 1.26–2.45, P = 0.0009), and urinary retention (RR 4.51; 95% CI, 2.27–8.96, P<0.0001) compared to PNB. Moreover, pooled analysis of data from 6 RCTs demonstrated no significant difference in VAS score between ACB and FNB at 24 h (MD -0.00; 95% CI, -0.56–0.56, P = 0.99) and 48 h (MD -0.06; 95% CI, -0.14–0.03, P = 0.23). Conclusions: PNB is as effective as epidural analgesia for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing TKR. Moreover, it is associated with significantly lower postoperative complications. ACB appears to be an effective PNB with similar analgesic effect to FNB after TKR. Future RCTs may provide better evidence regarding knee range of motion, length of hospital stay, and neurological complications.
